Course content

The School of Mathematics and Statistics has an active research programme covering a wide range of topics in the mathematical sciences, with weekly seminars, and several workshops and conferences throughout the year. It is home to a number of research fellows, visiting researchers and full- and part-time research students.

The main period for PhD student recruitment in the School is between October and March (for study commencing in the following October), although opportunities occasionally arise at other times of the year. Applicants are strongly encouraged to apply for projects specified by potential supervisors, rather than proposing their own.

The School of Mathematics and Statistics provides a friendly and flexible working environment, where diversity is celebrated and welcomed. The School is active in challenging injustice and promoting equitable treatment for those from marginalised or under-represented groups and holds an Athena Swan Silver award for its work in promoting gender equality. We value diversity and welcome applications from candidates with protected characteristics.
