Career Possibilities
This degree provides training in the rapidly expanding area of computational science, which leads to a broad range of exciting and challenging careers. Increasingly, mathematical models and computational techniques are taking advantage of powerful computers to simulate real world problems as well as solve problems on the cutting edge of scientific research. For example, in the automotive industry, computational techniques are used in every part of the development process, from the design of a new car body through to crash testing. In medicine, MRI scans using computer aided tomography are now commonplace.
In the financial world, computerised trading relies on mathematical models of the stock market. The mining industry is dependent on computational modelling to find new mineral resources, the new discipline of Data Mining deals with the enormous amounts of electronic information collected by businesses, governments, and researchers, and uses computational analysis to discover knowledge from these information collections.
