MSc in Mathematical Modelling and Scientific Computing Handbook (2025-26 Entry)
Welcome
Welcome from the Course Director
I would like to welcome you as a student on the M.Sc. in Mathematical Modelling and Scientific Computing here at the Mathematical Institute in Oxford. I hope the year ahead of you will be interesting and enjoyable and will build on the mathematical knowledge you already have.
The Mathematical Institute is housed in the Andrew Wiles Building and we hope it will provide an inspirational setting in which to learn more mathematics and undertake research. It houses one of the largest and most successful mathematics departments in the world and you will have the opportunity to be taught by and work with internationally renowned mathematicians.
As a group of students you are diverse, coming from a variety of backgrounds both academically and geographically. I am sure this will mean we have different strengths and that we can all learn from each other.
Once again, welcome to the MMSC programme at Oxford, and best wishes for an enjoyable and successful year.
Dr Kathryn Gillow
Course Director
