Computational Sciences
The Master’s Degree in Computational Sciences at Roma Tre University offers a multidisciplinary programme that bridges mathematics, computer science, and applied modelling. Designed to meet the growing demand for professionals who can combine strong mathematical foundations with computational expertise, the course attracts students from a variety of academic backgrounds, including mathematics, physics, computer science, engineering, and economics. The degree aims to train experts capable of addressing complex scientific and technological problems through data analysis, simulation, and numerical modelling.
Students may choose from three curricular pathways: Cryptography and Cybersecurity, Data Analysis and Statistics, and Physical Modelling and Numerical Simulations. Each pathway offers a balanced combination of theoretical study and practical training in programming, scientific computing, and laboratory work. The curriculum fosters problem-solving, interdisciplinary collaboration, and international mobility, and includes internships in academic, institutional, or industrial settings. Teaching integrates modern computational tools and encourages engagement with real-world applications, culminating in a substantial final thesis project.
Graduates are prepared for careers in data science, software development, scientific computing, cybersecurity, and high-performance modelling, with potential employment in research institutes, consultancy firms, industry, finance, and public administration. The degree also provides access to PhD programmes in Italy and abroad. Admission is open to students holding a relevant undergraduate degree, subject to individual curriculum evaluation. The final examination consists of the defence of a research thesis, written in Italian or English, and serves as a key academic and professional milestone.
