Research degrees in Mathematics

Welcome to the Postgraduate Research webpage for prospective new PhD students of the School of Mathematical Sciences. Our School offers PhD opportunities in a wide range of areas in Mathematical Sciences: see here for details about our research activities. We have a large and thriving community of postgraduate research students, currently numbering approximately 70 students.

Research students are assigned a PhD supervisor who has closely related mathematical interests, and with whom they agree on a programme of study and research. That programme includes advanced courses provided by the London Taught Course Centre (LTCC)(link is external), which is a joint initiative of several London Colleges. The School furthermore provides opportunities for acquiring skills through short courses such as, e.g., on Mathematical Writing. Students will also have the opportunity to gain experience in teaching, for example through leading exercise classes for undergraduate students, while at the same time supplementing their income.

Funding, usually for a period of 3.5 years, is available on an annual basis from both EPSRC and from the University, designed to cover the fees and living expenses of suitably qualified applicants. See here for current PhD studentship offers and for a list of sample PhD projects.

Please note that the internal deadline for fully-funded positions is the 31st of January 2019 and for projects competing for the Alan Turing Institute funding the deadline is 14th of January 2019.
