Applied Mathematics provides you with the skills to develop theories and methods that investigate and explain phenomena in the world around us, including in science, engineering, business and industry.
Applied Mathematics interacts with other disciplines and makes essential contributions to science, engineering, medicine and commerce, as well as to many important contemporary areas of technology such as communication, linguistics, genetics and climate science.

Postgraduate study in Applied Mathematics focuses on mathematical and computational models to formulate and solve real-world problems from a variety of areas within science and technology.
From analysing the most efficient way to schedule airline routes between cities, to the effects and safety of new drugs, applied maths is a good foundation to apply alongside many other sciences.
You will learn how to build mathematical models, how to formulate mathematical ideas for useful modeling, alongside learning about the solutions of models.
Areas of research interests open to exploration include:
- Advanced numerical analysis
- Advanced partial differential equations
- Applied differential equations
- Dynamical systems
- Linear systems inverse problems
- Mathematical biology
