Fees and funding
Fees
Tuition fees for home students commencing their studies in September 2025 will be £9,535 per annum (subject to Parliamentary approval). Tuition fees for international students will be £34,000 per annum. For general information please see the undergraduate finance pages.
Policy on additional costs
All students should normally be able to complete their programme of study without incurring additional study costs over and above the tuition fee for that programme. Any unavoidable additional compulsory costs totalling more than 1% of the annual home undergraduate fee per annum, regardless of whether the programme in question is undergraduate or postgraduate taught, will be made clear to you at the point of application. Further information can be found in the University's Policy on additional costs incurred by students on undergraduate and postgraduate taught programmes (PDF document, 91KB).
Scholarships/sponsorships
The University of Manchester is committed to attracting and supporting the very best students. We have a focus on nurturing talent and ability and we want to make sure that you have the opportunity to study here, regardless of your financial circumstances.

Overview
The unit builds on previous course units which have covered basic finite volume CFD approximations. It extends this knowledge to give an understanding of how more complex flows can be modelled, with an appreciation of the effects different approximation schemes may have on the accuracy and stability of solutions. The unit also broadens the range of numerical methods studied by students, providing an overview of a number of specialized methods suitable for particular flow applications.
Aims
• To equip students with a thorough knowledge and understanding of the typical numerical and modelling approximations found in general purpose commercial and research CFD codes, enabling them to perform reliable and efficient simulations.
• To provide students with current knowledge about novel and emerging CFD methods for a broad range of application areas (aerodynamics, energy, healthcare, industry), and to educate them in the process of identifying which approach is used where, and why.
• To enable students to gain hands-on experience with representative CFD tools via a series of laboratory exercises.
