PhDs are the highest research degree-level qualification in the UK. During your PhD you'll study a specific area of mathematics in great depth, conducting independent and original research, which you'll write up as a thesis. Your research will culminate in a thesis on a topic agreed between you and your supervisor. Your thesis must contain a substantial piece of research which includes some original work. This could include new ideas, or original commentary on material which is currently considered to be at the forefront of mathematical knowledge. Work on your thesis is guided by regular meetings with your supervisor. Assessment for the award of the degree of either PhD or MPhil will be on the basis of your thesis and an oral (viva voce) examination. Through our research we aim to create new applications and techniques that benefit the mathematics community and society in general. Our connections across the University, and with industrial partners and policymakers, will enable you to exchange ideas and build connections through your research. Our department provides a healthy span of research areas in pure and applied mathematics and statistics in a supportive environment for early career researchers.
