The Computational Science Lab is the primary driver behind two interdisciplinary Master’s programmes at the University of Amsterdam. We bridge the gap between complex theory and large-scale simulation.
🔬 MSc Computational Science#
Joint degree with the University of Amsterdam and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.
In this programme, you will learn to develop computational models based on real-life observations and perform large-scale simulations.
- Focus: Physical, social, earth, and life sciences.
- Structure: 120 EC (Core courses, Constrained Choice, and a 6-month Research Project).
- Specializations: Computational Finance, Biology, Biomedicine, and more.
🕸️ MSc Complex Systems and Policy#
A degree at the University of Amsterdam that covers many faculties.
Designed for students who want to apply the tools of complexity science—such as network theory and agent-based modeling—to public policy and governance.
- Focus: Global scientific and societal challenges.
- Methods: Nonlinear dynamics, emergent behavior, and network analysis.
