The master's programme in Applied and Computational Mathematics fosters skilled applied mathematicians, well-prepared for advanced industrial positions or PhD studies.
The programme offers four tracks: Computational Mathematics, Financial Mathematics, Optimisation and Systems Theory, and Mathematics of Data Science. Graduates acquire skills in advanced mathematics and computer simulation that are in demand in several important fields.
Computer simulations is of great importance for the high-tech industry and scientific and engineering research, for example, virtual processing, climate studies, fluid dynamics and advanced materials. Thus, computational science and engineering is an enabling technology for scientific discovery and engineering design.
It involves mathematical modelling, numerical analysis, computer science, high-performance computing and visualization. The remarkable development of large-scale computing in the last decades has turned computational science and engineering into the "third pillar" of science, complementing theory and experiment.
This is a two-year programme (120 ECTS credits) given in English. Graduates are awarded the degree of Master of Science. The programme is given mainly at KTH Campus in Stockholm by the School of Engineering Sciences (at KTH).
Advanced mathematics and computer simulations are present in several important fields; their use has increased dramatically with the rapid development of computer software and hardware. Financial mathematics, medicine and biology are prevalent areas, but you will be able to bring the usage of mathematics and simulations into a multitude of applications.
The graduates of this programme are in high demand in the labour market as well as in academia. Graduates work in companies like Ericsson, ABB, Comsol, SAAB, RaySearch Labs, Modelon, If, Citibank, Brainlab, ÅF, Atlas Copco, Elekta, Process Systems Enterprise, Goldman Sachs, and many others. Graduates from the programme also go on to academic careers with doctoral studies at KTH, other Swedish universities, or other leading European and US universities.
