Mathematical Modelling and Computation

Study Programme

The use of mathematics will become even more prevalent in future. There is an ever-increasing demand for mathematical models and methods in, e.g., industrial applications, information technology, financial institutions, energy, government issues, drug development, DNA mapping, and environmental research.

The study programme offers courses at a high academic level, providing you with extensive knowledge of applied mathematics and mathematical modelling as well as modern computer equipment and analysis of large data volumes.

You will have the opportunity to work in close collaboration with both Danish and international companies - either as part of the courses, as an individual project or while writing your thesis.

The MSc is a two-year graduate programme with a workload of 120 ECTS credit points.

Career

Mathematical Modelling and Computation is a very popular study programme, and graduates find employment in practically all sectors of society.

In the field of mathematical modelling, mathematics is often used to solve problems in entirely different subject areas, such as medicine or the environment. In your future job, openness, curiosity, and good communication skills will thus prove necessary.

Typical fields of work/career opportunities

Mathematical Modelling and Computation graduates find jobs in industry and academia—both in Denmark and abroad. Examples include:

  • the IT sector
  • firms of consulting engineers and other consultancy firms
  • the pharmaceutical industry
  • logistics and development departments
  • private and public research institutions.

Pursue a PhD

Once you have an MSc in Engineering, you might get the opportunity to continue your studies and apply for admission to the three-year PhD, which at DTU is a research-based programme ranking among the best in the world. You can do either a regular PhD or an industrial PhD, the latter with concurrent employment in a company.

As a PhD student, you will be part of a research group and will carry out an independent scientific project.
