Admission
Entry requirements
The entry requirements are at least a good BSc Second Class Honours Degree (2.1 or equivalent) in physics, engineering or mathematics. In general, it is expected that a student has a solid background in mathematics (calculus, linear algebra, ordinary differential equations, basics of probability and statistics). Because applications are treated on an individual basis, alternative qualifications, including relevant work experience, may be considered.
A candidate for admission whose first language is not English must have a qualification in the English language before he/she can be admitted to the programme. For more information on checking whether you have the required English skills please check the details.
A one-year conversion course is available for those students who do not have sufficient mathematics in their first degree. It is structured to cover key modules in mathematics, statistics and computing which are tailored to the requirements for the MSc. Upon successful completion of the conversion course, the student will be accepted onto the MSc.
