Large or small, at the macro or micro level, various phenomena are studied on a computer screen today. To be able to use, develop and apply computer simulations within a certain subject area requires a solid background as well as the right methods and statistical and mathematical models. The Master's Programme in Computational Science provides you with this knowledge.
You can choose between five recommended tracks of courses or you can tailor your own track depending on your educational background and areas of interest in applications in science. The five recommended study tracks are:
Numerical and mathematical modelling
Computational Physics
Computational Chemistry
Computational Fice
Distributed and High-Performance Computing
The Programme forms a strong theoretical and practical basis in mathematical modelling, a comprehensive understanding of advanced numerical methods, critical analysis of different solutions for scientific applications, and expertise to implement and use scientific software frameworks. All listed tracks are aligned with these goals.

Uppsala University is the oldest university in Sweden, founded in 1477. Initially, teaching at the University mainly consisted of lectures in philosophy, law and theology. The University suspended its activities in 1515 but restarted towards the end of the century, in 1593. From that point on, the University grew and broadened its range of subjects. The major donations made by King Gustaf II Adolf in the 1620s gave added impetus and the number of students increased sharply.
Famous people and former vice-chancellors
The first woman to hold a regular professorial chair at Uppsala University was Gerd Enequist. She was appointed professor of human geography in 1949.
She was also a member of the delegation for road planning 1954–1958 and of the editorial committee for the Atlas of Sweden, to which she contributed maps describing population, the built environment and business activities.
Historic cultural milieus
Many of the historic buildings and milieus in Uppsala are associated with the University.
One of them is Gustavianum, which is the University’s oldest surviving building. Though it is now a museum, in the 17th century Gustavianum was the University’s main educational centre.
Human remains in the University’s collections
From the mid-nineteenth century onwards, Uppsala University built up collections of human remains for use in medical research and teaching.
Since then, the view of how human remains should be treated has changed. This also applies to the view of the equal value of human beings, of consent and of the right to determine what happens with your own body after death.
