Mathematical Engineering is the art of applying maths to complex real-world problems; combining mathematical theory, practical engineering and scientific computing to address today’s technological challenges.
The key technical skill of an engineering mathematician is mathematical modelling. Problem solving of this kind is best learnt by hands-on experience, so that's how we teach it: using case-study applications spanning engineering, the life sciences, medicine, climate science, energy, data science, robotics and more. Mathematical modelling units feature in all our degree programmes. In these you'll work in teams to tackle challenging, open-ended problems, putting theory into practice.
The Mathematical Engineering program aims to prepare professionals capable of solving complex design and problem solving problems using advanced mathematical tools, but with an engineering approach. It combines a solid background in basic science with a deep knowledge of modern methods and technologies, as well as an enduring synergy between applied mathematics and engineering.
