Mathematics is the language that underpins the rest of science. Our interdisciplinary research recognises that mathematics, including what can be very abstract mathematics, is an essential part of research in many other disciplines.

Statistics is one of the most important fields of study in the world. The techniques we use to model and manipulate data guide the political, financial, and social decisions that shape our modern society.

Our PhD Statistics is an advanced research degree within our School of Mathematics, Statistics and Actuarial Science and we have staff members available to act as supervisors across a number of areas within statistics.

Postgraduate Diplomas last for six to nine months (full-time) and include the modules and assessed work of a Masters, without a dissertation. Mathematics is the language that underpins the rest of science.

Our four-year PhD in Mathematics (with research and communication skills) course has been specifically designed to support students, whilst also offering additional support for UK students who do not have English as a first language. We recognise and understand the importance of continuing professional development for students and have designed this course for students who do not have English as a first language and may have been studying in a different country, or out of a traditional academic environment for some time.

The techniques we use to model and manipulate data guide the political, financial and social decisions that shape our modern society and are the basis of growth of the economy and success of businesses. Technology is growing and evolving at an incredible speed, and both the rate of growth of data we generate and the devices we use to process it can only increase.

Our PhD Data Science is an advanced research degree within our School of Mathematics, Statistics and Actuarial Science and we have staff members available to act as supervisors across a number of areas within data science.

Our School of Mathematics, Statistics and Actuarial Science offers PhD Mathematics supervision in a wide range of mathematical areas, including both pure and applied subjects. Possible areas of research include algebra, combinatorics, computational mathematics, chaos theory, dynamical systems, differential equations and numerical analysis.

Our PhD Bioinformatics research in the School of Mathematics, Statistics and Actuarial Science focuses on the analysis of large functional genomics datasets.
