Mathematical Sciences (Research)

Our Mathematical Sciences department is committed to driving forward innovation in both pure and applied mathematics.

We attract staff and students from all over the world, making our department a diverse and stimulating environment in which to study. Active in high-quality research across the broad spectrum of mathematics, we have an excellent international reputation.

Our PhD programme will allow you to delve deeper into a topic you are passionate about and make new discoveries, with our excellent state-of-the-art laboratories and facilities providing a platform for world-class research. The knowledge, skills and expertise gained can be transferred into a career in mathematics, research or academia.

Our key research themes include analysis, dynamical systems, geometry and mathematical physics, linear and nonlinear waves, mathematical modelling, statistics, and stochastic analysis. We also host regular seminar series and colloquia, as well as international conferences and workshops.

As part of the School of Science, our Mathematical Sciences staff and PhD students contribute to our interdisciplinary research centres:

• Centre for Geometry and Applications

• Centre for Sensing and Imaging Science

• Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical Modelling

• Centre for the Science of Materials

• Centre for Analytical Science

• Interdisciplinary Science Centre from Laboratory to Fabrication
