The Master of Science degree in Computational Science (MCS) at the
Università della Svizzera italiana (USI) offers students the opportunity
to acquire an in-depth understanding and set of skills in computational
science, involving numerical simulation, applied mathematics,
statistics, and data science. It provides an innovative combination of
methodological and applied competencies in both computational and data
science, which endow students with the knowledge and skills that are
needed to operate at the forefront of science and industry.
The
MCS is fostering a synergistic advancement of all components of
computing and data sciences. It will educate students to rethink and
develop novel mathematical methods, algorithms, and software to use such
emerging computing modalities, or to fuse models and data to extract
structure from complexity across disciplines. The MCS provides the
foundations of a new form of computational thinking, and it trains
master students to use various computing modes and advancements in
mathematics, algorithms and software to address challenges presented by
science or society.
Awarded degree
Master of Science in Computational Science.
