What we are researching
We are undertaking ground breaking research tackling real world challenges such as disease diagnosis and weather forecasting. The topic of a PhD dissertation may be chosen from a wide range of research topics within the Department.
Find a course
You will work as part of a vibrant and supportive community of early career researchers who collaborate and exchange ideas with each other and the wider mathematical community. You will be extensively trained for a career as a professional mathematician, which will set you on the right track for a future in academia, industry or government.
You will work closely with one or two supervisors, who you will meet with on a frequent basis, to discuss your research and your career development and they will oversee your progress and offer advice throughout your PhD studies.
If you are interested in doing a PhD with us, please look at the interests of our Department's research groups and get in contact with an academic.
Project funding
Many of our research projects are funded by large-scale grants from the public and private sectors including:
Expert support
