Postgraduate Diploma in Mathematical Modelling

New Zealand

3

What will I learn?

Advance your knowledge and understanding of interdisciplinary mathematical modelling and gain skills in modelling-specific technical advances and computational methods.

Programme overview

At present, mathematical modelling is enjoying a high degree of public awareness, with real-world applications such as COVID-19 and climate modelling frequently appearing in the news. Consequently, there is a growing need for a broad range of realistic modelling techniques and expertise in advanced computational methods.

The PGDipMathModel provides a pathway for modelling scientists and engineers to upskill.

The PGDipMathModel comprises four core Engineering Science and Mathematics

courses, and a broad range of electives.
