About Applied & Computational Mathematics in University College Dublin

If you enjoy studying Mathematics, the UCD degree in Applied & Computational Mathematics will train you in the essential mathematical and computational skills in modelling, analysis and simulation needed to solve problems arising throughout the physical and life sciences, engineering, business and finance.

Today's challenges faced by science and engineering are so complex that they can only be analysed and solved through mathematical and computational modelling. Mathematical models create representations of complex real-world phenomena in a precise, quantitative way. Fundamental insights can then be obtained by analysing these models through a combination of mathematical analysis and computational simulation. Outside the traditional spheres of science and engineering, mathematical modelling and simulation techniques are increasingly used in the social sciences, communication, business and finance.

Graduates with training in Applied & Computational Mathematics work in fields as diverse as:

• Physics: nanoscience, quantum optical processes in semiconductors and robotics
• Biology: biomedical applications, medical instrumentation and bio-information technology
• Finance
• Pharmaceutical industry
• Environmental agencies and companies
• Computing in business, technology, research and academia
