MSc Complex Systems and Data Modelling at King's College London

By studying our Complex Systems and Data Modelling MSc, you will become part of a rapidly developing interdisciplinary field and you will be equipped with skills for performing wide-ranging roles in academia and industry: from mathematical modelling of economic systems and neural networks to data science. Complex Systems refers to a wide range of systems, which may include gene regulatory systems, neural nets, social and financial networks, road traffic, flocks of birds, and many others. These systems are all composed of many interacting elements, e.g. genes in a gene regulatory network or firms in a financial system, whose global performance is difficult to predict and analyse on the basis of the rules governing the behaviour of its individual constituents.

What you will study

Complex Systems are phenomena with many interacting parts that are difficult to model and predict. This includes everything from natural systems like flocks of birds and the Earth’s climate to man-made systems like road traffic, financial markets, and neural networks. Using mathematical and data analysis tools, we can examine the rules governing these individual parts to simulate and predict the behavior of the whole system – answering fundamental questions about our world and universe.
