Programme description
The Department of Mathematics has an outstanding research reputation. The research facilities include one of the finest libraries in the country, the John Rylands University Library. This library has recently made a very large commitment of resources to providing comprehensive online facilities for the free use of the University's research community. Postgraduate students in the Department benefit from direct access to all the Library electronic resources from their offices.
Many research seminars are held in the Department on a weekly basis and allow staff and research students to stay in touch with the latest developments in their fields. The Department is one of the lead partners in the MAGIC project and research students can attend any of the postgraduate courses offered by the MAGIC consortium
Opportunities for PhD research are available in a wide range of topics in Applied Mathematics. For some of the available areas of possible PhD research see the current Applied Mathematics research areas. For more details about specific projects, please contact the relevant individual members of staff or get in touch with the Applied Mathematics Postgraduate Admissions Tutor .
