Overview
We invite MPhil and PhD proposals in any of our research areas.
As a research postgraduate in the School of Mathematics, Statistics and Physics you'll work under the supervision of an expert in your chosen field.
Within each field of Pure Mathematics there are multiple subgroups. In analysis, one subgroup concentrates on operator theory and function theory, the other on Banach algebras, cohomology and modules. In algebra there are subgroups devoted to the study of infinite groups, and finite classical groups and their geometries.
Our Applied Mathematics staff have research interests in:
- astrophysical and geophysical fluid dynamics
- quantum matter
- mathematical biology and archaeology
- cosmology and quantum gravity
To help you identify a topic and potential supervisor, we encourage you to find out more about our staff specialisms.
Lists of example projects in Pure and Applied Mathematics are also available.
We run research seminars in algebra and geometries, analysis, and applied mathematics. Our postgraduate students also get the opportunity to lead seminars.
Specialist courses are offered through the MAGIC distance learning consortium, sponsored in part by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).
We're part of:
- the North British Functional Analysis Seminar
- the North British Geometric Group Theory Seminar
- Algebra and Representation Theory in the North, funded by the London Mathematical Society and the Edinburgh Mathematical Society
- the Joint Quantum Centre with Durham University
