MSc PG Dip PG Cert Defence Simulation and Modelling

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    MSc: one year full-time, up to five years part-time; PgDip: up to one year full-time, up to four years part-time; PgCert: up to one year full-time, up to three years part-time

Course Description

This course addresses the design, development, procurement, use and management of models and simulations for applications in experimentation, training, testing, analysis and assessment of military forces, systems and equipment.

The application of modelling and simulation continues to enhance and transform both systems development and training. It allows representation of increasingly complex equipment, systems and scenarios for the purposes of decision support and helps to reduce wear on live equipment and on test and training areas.

Entry Requirements

Normally a first or second class honours degree or equivalent in science, engineering or mathematics. Alternatively, a lesser qualification together with appropriate work experience may be acceptable.
