Applications

Applications for Autumn 2025 entry are now open. 

Please note that if you are selecting MSc Applied Mathematics as a second course choice in your application to Imperial, we will only consider your application if your first choice course is MSc Pure Mathematics.

You can apply directly to the SCML stream or to the regular Applied Mathematics MSc course and wait until the end of term 1 to confirm your decision. 

Entry to the SCML stream can be limited, depending on aligned project availability.


The course

It has long been recognised that mathematics is the language of science. Applications of mathematics to traditional areas such as physics, chemistry and engineering have been augmented with applications to biology and even the social sciences. Indeed, the aims and scope of applied mathematics has expanded considerably in recent years. Techniques from Applied Mathematics are currently being used to study problems ranging from climate modelling to the study of the dynamics of opinion formation in societies. 

The goal of the MSc in Applied Mathematics is to offer excellent training in modern applied mathematics. The two main components of the MSc are the courses and the project. This course is delivered in small classes, with broad choice modules from the foundational to highly specialised, allowing you to tailor the course to your interests and background.

A new stream on Scientific Computing & Machine Learning (SCML) is now on offer. This stream is for students who want to develop core expertise at the interface between modern computational mathematics and data-driven modelling. Students can register in the SCML stream until before the end of autumn term, when project allocation happens. They must comply with the same ECTS requirements of the programme, with the constraint that they are required to complete at least 4 modules from a subset of 9 aligned modules – Group A. Entry to the SCML stream can be limited based on aligned project availability.
