Mathematical Sciences MPhil

Overview Our Mathematical Sciences department is committed to driving forward innovation across the teaching and research of both pure and applied mathematics. The Department attracts staff and students from all over the world, making it a diverse and stimulating environment in which to study. Active in high-quality research across the broad spectrum of mathematics, the Department has an excellent international reputation. Research themes within the Department include analysis, dynamical systems, geometry and mathematical physics, linear and nonlinear waves, mathematical modelling, statistics, and stochastic analysis. As a PhD student in the Department of Mathematical Sciences you will be part of a vibrant community of researchers from around the world. The Department hosts regular seminar series and colloquia, as well as international conferences and workshops. As part of the School of Science, staff and PhD students contribute to our interdisciplinary research centres: • Centre for Geometry and Applications • Centre for Imaging Science • Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical Modelling. Where you'll study Our Department undertakes research in both pure and applied mathematics and is located in the refurbished Schofield Building. You will have access to spacious study areas, with the latest audio-visual equipment to support teaching and research. Research areas Analysis and PDEs Dynamical Systems Geometry and Mathematical Physics Linear and Nonlinear Waves Mathematical Modelling Stochastic Analysis Statistics Your personal and professional development Support from your supervisor You will have at least two academic supervisors who will guide you in your research. You’ll also be provided with a desk, computer, photocopying facilities and can apply for funds for conference attendance. Skills and experience A PhD programme will give you the opportunity to develop new and highly sought after skills which can set you up for a range of careers. It’s a chance to make a novel contribution to knowledge, to become a world expert in a particular field, and it can open a range of doors with different employers. You'll also enhance your interpersonal skills, such as networking and relationship building, which will be invaluable in your future career. In addition to the University’s extensive training provision, you’ll also enjoy a dynamic research atmosphere with regular workshops, international visitors and a wide range of research seminars to which you’ll be invited to make presentations.
