Study Details: 12 months full-time; 24 months part‑time
The Masters in Computational Geoscience explores how we model the natural world and the environment around us (and the processes that create them). You will develop applied data science and modelling skills which you can use to address complex real-world challenges and support decision-making in geoscience fields. You will develop skills that are in high-demand in the geoscience sector, including computer programming, predictive modelling and big data analysis.
2.2 Hons (or non-UK equivalent) in any Engineering Discipline, Physical Sciences/Mathematics, Earth, Environmental, and Planetary Sciences or Computing Science.
We may also accept degrees in Building Surveying, Quantity Surveying, Architecture, Planning, Geomatics if containing maths.
We may sometimes accept equivalent professional experience in lieu of qualification
This programme will provide students with the knowledge and skills to work in the geoscience field at the interface between computational modelling and geoscience professionals.
This includes areas such as geothermal, carbon capture, energy and metals industries, earth system modelling, flood and landscape modelling, and environmental consulting and Protection.
The MSc will also prepare students for PhD study in a multitude of earth science research fields.
