Department of Mathematics
We’re a small and friendly department and we run a lively range of undergraduate courses. Students can study a core maths curriculum – or combine this with economics, statistics, finance, physics and music. Our teaching and research are well integrated, and our academic interests include pure and applied maths. We often focus on real-world areas where these two disciplines combine.
We also boast an active postgraduate research community, while our award-winning Professional Training placements help our graduates secure jobs across a wide range of sectors, including prestigious City firms, the civil service and various industry positions.
Work with us
We will list any open vacancies as they arise.
Research
The research interests of the department cut a broad swathe through both pure and applied areas of mathematics.
Impact in conversation
Professor Anne Skeldon tells us about research on mathematical models for sleep, light and the body clock, and predicting the effect of moving school start times and of permanent daylight saving.
Study with us
The knowledge and expertise of our academic staff ensure the quality of all our courses, so that you are well placed to progress to the next stage of your career.
Gender equality
We are proud to hold an Athena Swan Bronze award recognising our commitment to advancing women’s careers in maths.
