Master of Science - Industrial Mathematical Modelling

Loughborough University's Master of Science in Industrial Mathematical Modelling will equip students with the skills and techniques required by industrial mathematics, including the real world problem-solving abilities in applied mathematics that are highly sought after within industry and commerce.

Industrial mathematics is a branch of applied mathematics that focuses on a modelling, simulating and solving problems of relevance to industry. The master's program in industrial mathematics modelling enables students to explore mathematical models of real-world processes and their formulation, with a strong emphasis on how these techniques can be applied in industry, culminating in a 12-week summer project which is usually carried out within a local business. Students' projects are supported by the department's well-established links to industry and will give students a practical, real-life insight into how mathematical theory and technique is applied in organisational scenarios.

The program will see students work in small groups to solve industry-based problems using mathematical models and statistics, whilst also covering areas such as regular and chaotic dynamics, partial differential equations and fluid mechanics. As a postgraduate student within the Department of Mathematical Sciences, students' studies will be enhanced by the research insights of the school's international staff, as well as their recently refurbished building with dedicated modern facilities for mathematics.
