The main objective of this programme is to educate students with skills in scientific computing, so that they will be well prepared for advanced industrial positions or continued graduate studies.

Kunskap och förståelse

A Master of Science in Scientific Computing will: 

• have a good broad knowledge in mathematics, the solution of mathematically related problems using computers, numerical methods and applications where high performance computing is used as well as deepened knowledge within a chosen specialization area,
• have a good ability to apply suitable methods and computer tools to different types of mathematical models,
• be able to formulate and approach new problem settings in a scientific manner in a creative, critical and systematic way.

Färdigheter och förmågor

A Master of Science in Scientific Computing will be able to: 

• work out solution strategies to different classes of mathematical models, knowing the capabilities and limitations of different methods and tools,
• work efficiently in a teamwork environment in groups with people from different scientific and engineering background,
• communicate with scientists and people active in engineering development in a competent manner both orally and in writing,
• follow and participate in research and development related to the chosen specialization.

Värderingsförmåga och förhållningssätt

A Master of Science in Scientific Computing will be able to: 

• critically judge a problem and in an independent manner acquire the information and knowledge that is necessary to establish a qualified opinion,
• have the ability to identify the need for further knowledge in the field and take responsibility for keeping her/his personal knowledge up to date.

In addition to this the similar objectives for master degree defined in the Higher Education Ordinance (Högskoleförordningen) are applicable.
