Master of Complex Systems in Research Methods (Engineering)

The University of Sydney

Our Research methods specialisation provides a pathway to a research career.It has been tailored to develop your comprehensive skills in computational analysis, modelling and simulation of collective emergent dynamics, used in quantifying the impact of unexpected events and socio-economic crises, and designing resilient socio-technological systems.The methodological tools are introduced to analyse complex systems and make use of partial and noisy information effectively model, and visually represent, dynamical systems with a large number of components use optimisation techniques to pinpoint the set of circumstances which will result in the best outcome, and 'guide' the emergent behaviour and self-organisation of complex systems.Gain the expertise to model, analyse and design resilient technological, socioeconomic and socioecological systems, as well as develop strategies for crisis forecasting and management.Our Master of Complex Systems is the only degree of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere and is ideal for graduates wanting to develop skills in quantitative modelling and computational simulation of system dynamics.
