Here's why you want to study Computational Science in Amsterdam
Learn to describe the world through models
You learn to explain natural systems by developing models and simulations.
Combine several scientific disciplines
You apply mathematics, logic, and algorithmic-driven procedures, and use data from, among others, social, earth, economic and life sciences.
Joint degree by UvA and VU
Because this is a joint degree, you can choose courses from two different universities.
Computational Science will suit you, if you want to...
- Confront a tornado in virtual reality and predict its path of destruction.
- Understand the behaviour of financial markets.
- Predict how a crowd will act in the event of a disaster.
- Simulate the outcome of a surgical procedure before it is used on a patient.
Joint degree programme with VU Amsterdam
