Computational Science at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam

Using scientific computing to predict outcomes and solve real-world problems

Computational Science seeks to explain the complex world we live in using technological simulations. By collecting data and creating computer models, computational scientists can make predictions that help to solve a variety of problems. For example:

• predicting the path of a tornado
• analysing the behaviour of financial markets
• simulating the outcome of a surgical procedure before it’s used on a patient
• improving the flow of traffic
• determining how an epidemic will most likely spread

In this programme, a joint degree between VU Amsterdam and the University of Amsterdam (UvA), you will learn to apply algorithmic-driven procedures (step-by-step procedures for solving a problem in a limited number of steps) as well as mathematics and logic. You will also learn to apply the knowledge and skills you develop to different research areas in the natural sciences.

Computational Science

As a graduate of Computational Science, you will be highly valued for your knowledge and skills in this new field of science. You will be ready to start a career in any professional environment where computation is the core business. 

As a Computational Science graduate, you will have skills in:

• building computational models from real-life observations
• turning these models into computational structures and performing large-scale simulations
• applying theory in the analysis of complex simulations
• analysing the results of your simulations in a virtual laboratory using advanced numerical algorithms
• utilising the power of the largest supercomputers

You will also have experience in using to some of the most advanced computing, networking, storage and visualisation facilities in the world.

The programme offers a lot of flexibility, which allows you to specialise in the areas that you find important for your future career. And with the technical and analytical skills that you develop in the programme, you will be in high demand no matter what you choose to specialise in.
