We consider applications from UK, EU and other international students for our PhD and research masters programmes. For further information on these in Mathematics and Statistics postgraduate degrees and on scholarships available please see the College of Science & Engineering Graduate School pages.
PhD study options
- Full or part time standard PhD
- Maclaurin Scholarship for Postgraduate Research and Teaching: The Maclaurin scholarship has been created to provide an opportunity for a talented student to undertake study for a PhD in the mathematical sciences while simultaneously gaining teaching experience by contributing to the School’s extensive teaching programme. This is a five-year funded PhD scholarship which includes teaching duties. Please indicate on your application form if you would like to be considered for the Maclaurin Scholarship.
- PhD with integrated study: A four-year PhD programme which begins with a 9 month taught component which gives the student comprehensive training before they embark on the research component of their PhD. This programme is particularly well suited to students who do not pocess the required background knowledge in the subject to begin a PhD immediately.
