The CDT provides the ideal staging ground if you are an outstanding mathematician, or mathematically-oriented scientist, who wants to expand your arsenal of mathematical techniques, improve team-working and communication skills and tackle real-world problems coming from industry.This degree has two components. The first year programme comprises two blocks of material taught by academics punctuated by two Industrial Enrichment Programmes, delivered by the CDT's industrial partners. There will be a 'light-touch' assessment of each of the academic courses in the first year. These are followed by two short periods of research focused on well-defined company problems, at least one of which will be carried out within a company.

Course programme
You will chose a project aligned with one of the CDT's partner companies for your main research topic, which will be carried out during years 2-4. These projects will be supervised by Oxford academics and company representatives. You will spend approximately one month each year visiting the company. You will write a short dissertation during the first half of your second year which will be assessed to determine whether you can continue on the course.
- MSc in Mathematical Modelling and Scientific Computing
The CDT's partner companies span many sectors and are interested in exploiting mathematics (including continuum mechanics, discrete methods, numerical techniques and data analytics) to address strategic company issues.
You will gain (i) fluency in a wide range of advanced mathematical techniques, (ii) a breadth of modelling experience, and (iii) a set of team-working and communication skills much greater than through traditional doctoral studies. Alumni will be ideally placed to pursue careers either in academia or in industry.
This is a new course. The department anticipate that students will go on to work in industry or in academia. There will be industry-led careers events for all CDT students near the end of the course.
