Applied Mathematics

This course is a great stepping stone onto our fast-track PhD programme, making it an excellent option for you if you are looking to build strong mathematical foundations for this route.

The School of Mathematics Birmingham offers a dynamic and supportive environment where you can apply your mathematical knowledge to a range of complex real-world problems.

Our programme will help you use your strong mathematics background and become a multidisciplinary scientist. You could be learning how to model the spread of disease, understanding air turbulence or modelling how crops can grow in dry conditions.

You will learn how to tackle challenging problems and offer solutions that make a difference in our changing world. You'll learn to diversify your knowledge and skills by delving into other fields and working with research leaders and students from various disciplines.

• The researchers in the School of Mathematics collaborate extensively across disciplines, including Biological and Medical Sciences and Chemical Engineering, as well as with industry
• Birmingham is becoming a hub for multidisciplinary Biological Systems Science research, uniquely positioned near one of Europe’s largest super-hospitals, serving a highly diverse population
• Learn from experts in their fields of Continuum Mechanics, Mathematical Biology, Nonlinear Systems, Numerical Analysis and Scientific Computing, Optimisation and other areas of Applied Mathematics
