The contribution of mathematical and computational modelling to the understanding of biological systems has rapidly grown in recent years. This discipline encompasses a wide range of life science areas, including ecology (e.g. population dynamics), epidemiology (e.g. spread of diseases), medicine (e.g. modelling cancer growth and treatment) and developmental biology. This programme aims to equip students with the necessary technical skills to develop, analyse and interpret models applied to biological systems. The coursework is supported by an extended and supervised project in life science modelling and we offer an exciting range of projects in subjects such as Population Cycles of Forest Insects, Modelling Invasive Tumour Growth, Wiring of Nervous Systems, Vegetation Patterns in Semi-Arid Environments and other cutting-edge topics. Programme duration MSc - One year Diploma-9 months
