Predictive Modelling and Scientific Computing ,PGDip

Course overview

Predictive Modelling is a fusion of mathematical modelling, machine learning and scientific computing, providing a powerful new way of thinking about how to model complex systems and improve technology and design.

Enhancements in computer processing power and access to ‘Big Data’ have led to a growth in the number of applications of predictive modelling into areas as diverse as environmental science, energy, healthcare, materials engineering, food science and geology.

Our MSc in Predictive Modelling and Scientific Computing educates future specialists in computational science and engineering, building on students’ existing programming skills and equipping them to apply appropriate computational techniques to understand, define and develop solutions to a range of science and engineering problems, including those of national and global importance.

This course will equip graduates for further study in areas of critical science and technological significance, or for employment in a broad range of data-intensive industries where modelling, design and decision making under uncertainties is important. We have strong links with a range of potential employers.

The MSc can be studied part-time over two years to suit those in employment. PG Diploma, Certificate and Award options are also available for those who would like to take a subset of modules.

Warwick welcomes applications with good degrees from respected universities in Jordan.

From Jordan, for Postgraduate Taught courses, we would typically require a 4-year bachelors degree from a recognised institution for entry, with the following equivalencies:
