Model climate change, predict disease outbreaks, and optimise sustainable energy systems. Learn how computational modelling, simulation and data science help solve complex societal challenges.
Why study for a Master’s Computational Science?
- Model, simulate and solve complex problems: Learn to understand and predict complex systems through mathematical modelling, simulations and data analysis. From climate and biology to financial markets and engineering, you develop computational solutions to real-world challenges.
- Graduate with skills that cross every industry boundary: Develop interdisciplinary expertise in modelling, simulation, numerical methods, high-performance computing and scientific programming. These future-proof skills are valued across sectors including healthcare, energy, finance, logistics and research.
- Benefit from combined expertise of VU and UvA: This joint degree programme enables you to make use of expertise, research facilities and collaborations of two leading universities.
This is a joint degree programme offered by Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU) and the University of Amsterdam (UvA), providing a joint degree certificate upon graduation.
