The Masters Degree in Applied Mathematics & Theoretical Physics at University College Dublin is designed for students with a strong background in physics, mathematics, or a related natural science who aspire to master state-of-the-art mathematical models and computational methods. You will explore the quantitative analysis of a broad range of physical phenomena, gaining expertise in areas such as dynamical systems, theoretical astrophysics, and quantum field theory. This programme offers a robust training in computational methods, complementing a solid theoretical and mathematical foundation, preparing you for advanced challenges in research and development.
This full-time, on-campus Masters programme is studied over one year, integrating core modules with a selection of specialised options in consultation with your programme director. You will engage with advanced topics through lectures, problem-solving sessions, and potentially a significant research project, choosing from options like Bio-inspired Technologies or General Relativity and Cosmology. You will graduate with the analytical and computational skills essential for careers in simulation science, predictive modelling, risk assessment, and informatics-related industry sectors, or for further doctoral studies.
