Our MSD Biostatistics is a research degree within the School of Mathematics, Statistics and Actuarial Science.

Undertaking our MSD Pure Mathematics gives you the opportunity to investigate such areas as algebraic geometry, group theory, semigroup theory, combinatorics and differential equations. We have staff with expertise in each of these areas who are enthusiastic about supervising PhD students.

Our MSD Applied Mathematics provides you with the opportunity to study areas such as dynamical systems, pattern formation, chaos theory, ordinary and partial differential equations, Hamiltonian systems, stability theory, computational neuroscience, complex systems, complex networks and nonlinear waves. We have staff with expertise in these areas who are willing to supervise PhD students, and you are invited to contact our School to discuss potential research areas and subjects.

Our MSD Mathematical Biology uses novel mathematical and computational techniques to solve problems in the biological, ecological and environmental sciences. At Essex, we have supervised projects in the areas of animal movement and behaviour, population dynamics, plankton ecology, fisheries and natural resource management, and bioinformatics techniques.

Our MSD Operational Research gives you the opportunity to explore areas where optimisation and mathematical modelling are important. These include logistics, revenue management, networks and stochastic control; areas of great practical interest and use in the public and private sectors.

Through developing expert abilities in mathematics and discovering how these can be applied to financial situations, you will improve your capacity to make successful financial decisions and understand how you can turn risk into opportunity. Our BSc Finance and Mathematics course offers you modules in mathematics, accounting, economics and actuarial science.

An Integrated PhD provides a route into research study if you do not have a Masters degree, or have very little research training. It enables you to spend your first year completing a Masters-level qualification, followed by a full-time PhD studied over 3-4 years.

Our PhD Biostatistics is an advanced research degree within the School of Mathematics, Statistics and Actuarial Science.

Our MPhil 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.

Our School of Mathematics, Statistics and Actuarial Science offers MPhil 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.
