Engineering mathematics and computational science master's programme​ at Chalmers New mathematical methods are necessary for understanding modern physics and chemistry, for example, advanced mathematical and statistical models are required in climate science. Bioinformatics has quickly grown to become one of the big areas of applied mathematics. Continuing the development of mathematical methods is necessary in order to deal with the huge amounts of information generated by for example gene mapping. The master's programme gives you a solid base in mathematics, mathematical statistics or computational science. It is also possible to choose a direction towards bioinformatics. We also offer a number of courses in financial mathematics. Topics covered The subjects of mathematical statistics, computational science and engineering mathematical modelling are fundamental areas in the Engineering Mathematics and Computational Science master’s programme. The courses included in the programme plan handle topics such as engineering mathematics, applied mathematics, mathematical biology, machine learning, big data science, pure math and mathematical physics.

The master's programme runs for a duration of two years, leading to a Master of Science (MSc) degree. During each year, students can earn 60 credits (ECTS) and complete the programme by accumulating a total of 120 credits. Credits are earned by completing courses where each course is usually 7.5 credits. The programme consists of compulsory courses, compulsory elective courses and elective courses.

Compulsory courses year 1
During the first year of the programme, there are four compulsory courses that form a common foundation in Engineering Mathematics and Computational Science. Each course is 7.5 credits.

High-performance computing
Nonlinear optimization
Statistical inference
Partial differential equations (can be substituted for a compulsory elective course if you have taken a similar course previously)​

Compulsory courses year 2
During the second year, there is one compulsory course. In addition, in order to graduate, a master's thesis must be completed. The thesis may be worth 30 credits or 60 credits depending on your choice.

Project course in mathematical and statistical modelling
Master's thesis
Compulsory elective courses
Through compulsory elective courses, you can specialise in one of the profiles. More information under profile tracks.

Elective courses
You will also be able to select courses outside of your programme plan. These are called elective courses. You can choose from a wide range of elective courses.​
