Applied Mathematics PhD

Degree awarded: Doctor of Philosophy

Duration: 36 Months. [Full-Time]

Entry requirements: Applicants would usually be expected to have a 1st or upper 2nd class honours degree and an MSc degree Merit or Distinction (or an equivalent overseas qualification) in a mathematical subject. In some research areas a background in physics, engineering or computer science is also acceptable.

Course fees: For entry in the academic year beginning September 2013, the tuition fees are as follows:

• PhD (full-time)
  UK/EU students (per annum): £3,900
  International students (per annum): £16,500
• PhD (part-time)
  UK/EU students (per annum): £1,950
  International students (per annum): £8,250

Please note for the majority of projects where experimentation requires further resource: higher fee bands (where quoted) will be charged rather than the base rate for supervision, administration and computational costs. The fees quoted above will be fully inclusive and, therefore, you will not be required to pay any additional bench fees or administration costs.

All fees for entry will be subject to yearly review and incremental rises per annum are also likely over the duration of the course for UK/EU students (fees are typically fixed for International students, for the course duration at the year of entry). For general fees information please visit: postgraduate fees. Always contact the department if you are unsure which fee applies to your project.

Scholarships/sponsorships:

Together with EPSRC and other national funding sources, the School currently provides financial support to some 60 postgraduate students every year. EPSRC DTA research studentships are available in all areas for UK and EU students. Students who are normally resident in the EU but not in the UK are eligible for EPSRC PhD studentships, but the awards in such cases currently cover only the course fees, not maintenance stipends.

I addition, about eight School scholarships are also available each year to PhD students. PhD students may also have the opportunity to help in teaching undergraduate examples classes, for which they are paid.
