Mathematics PhD - Applied Mathematics

University of Leicester

We provide a welcoming academic environment for undergraduate and postgraduate students to study maths and computer science courses. We pride ourselves on our research, alongside extensive industry experience in a number of fields. All of this is reflected in our teaching of high-level and innovative courses. The School of Computing and Mathematical Sciences is part of the College of Science and Engineering. We offer PhD and MPhil supervision in Mathematics in areas that are compatible with the research interests of our academic staff, which include: Pure Mathematics Applied Mathematics PhD students complete an independent research project under the guidance of a supervisory team. The research is normally completed over a maximum period of 3.0-3.5 years (full-time) or 6.0-6.5 years (part-time). A fourth year (full-time) or seventh year (part-time) or the remaining part of this can be used to prepare the thesis for examination. The thesis should not normally exceed 50,000 words and must make an original contribution to knowledge and contain work of publishable quality. The thesis must then be defended in a viva voce (oral) examination before a degree can be awarded.
