• A comprehensive professional development programme, including leadership training and opportunities to connect with leading academic and industry professionals.
• Membership of a prestigious research community.

These postgraduate scholarships in mathematics are administered by the Martingale Foundation and must be applied for through the Foundation rather than directly through the University of Glasgow.
