The degree program is built on a core of advanced mathematics and computer science courses linked with a specialist area of science. These core courses provide the training in the formulation, analysis, modelling and simulation of problems in science, engineering, commerce and industry. Typical areas of specialisation are physics, chemistry, biology, geology, geography, environmental sciences, applied mathematics, astrophysics, economics, finance and computer science. In this way the general mathematical and computing skills obtained from the core courses can be applied in a sophisticated manner in a specialisation area.

Students will take two computational science extension activities which aim to introduce students to the application of computational science to scientific and industrial problems.
