Mathematics - Structured

The various research groups within the discipline of Mathematics host a wide range of workshops, seminars and graduate courses, resulting in a unique and thriving graduate research programme with a strong international dimension.



As part of the doctoral training available on the Structured PhD programme, students select from a range of taught modules, including:



-graduate-level courses in Mathematics covering topics such as Advanced Algebra and Analysis, Geometry, Topology/Set Theory and Computational Mathematics;

-modules in Statistics, Bioinformatics and Applied Mathematics available from the cognate disciplines within the School of Maths;

-a wide range of interdisciplinary modules from other schools in the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences;

-modules on core skills such as research methods, computing, communications, and languages;

-modules acknowledging a student’s professional development, including presentation of posters and paper at an International Conference

-modules to enhance a student’s employability through generic training e.g. Careers' Workshops, computing skills, etc.



Each student is assigned a primary Supervisor(s) and a Graduate Research Committee made up of experienced researchers to plan their programme of study and to provide on-going support to their research.

Candidates for the degree of PhD or MSc by research must have reached a high honours standard (minimum H2.2 [or equivalent international qualification] for an MSc) at the examination for the primary degree, or presented such other evidence as will satisfy the Head of School and the College of his/her fitness.
