Computation research covers many areas in science and engineering. The multidisciplinary nature of computational science and its wide-ranging scope means that its training and research can best be integrated into different disciplines to equip students with a solid foundation of the knowledge in focused areas. This concentration is intended for research postgraduate students who are interested in pursuing research in computation related research. Students can enroll in a particular discipline for research in the School of Science with a special focus in Scientific Computation as follows: MPhil/PhD in Chemistry MPhil/PhD in Life Science MPhil/PhD in Mathematics MPhil/PhD in Physics Research Postgraduate Programs PhD MPhil www.csc.ust.hk/scc
