PGCert Predictive Modelling and Scientific Computing

University of Warwick

Predictive Modelling is a fusion of mathematical modelling, machine learning and scientific computing, providing a powerful new way of thinking about how to model complex systems and improve technology and design.Enhancements in computer processing power and access to ‘Big Data’ have led to a growth in the number of applications of predictive modelling into areas as diverse as environmental science, energy, healthcare, materials engineering, food science and geology. Our MSc in Predictive Modelling and Scientific Computing educates future specialists in computational science and engineering, equipping them to apply appropriate computational techniques to understand, define and develop solutions to a range of science and engineering problems, including those of national and global importance.Core modules cover uncertainty quantification and predictive modelling, scientific computing and scientific machine learning, whilst the choice of three optional modules gives students the opportunity to specialise the application focus of the course to align with their interests. Students will participate in individual and group research projects, as well as writing reports and presenting technical work, thus developing the project management and numerical skills sought by employers.
