All appointments are made on merit.  The University of Manchester and our external partners are fully committed to equality, diversity and inclusion.

Mathematical Finance and Actuarial Science are a very active branches of mathematics, spanning applied mathematics, probability and statistics. They are some of the few areas in academic research which interact constantly with their field of application and with a huge impact on the daily functioning of the world's financial institutions. The department at Manchester has seven permanent members of staff working in this area, with expertise in a range of areas in financial mathematics including insurance and actuarial science.

In the Department of Mathematics we offer a range of scholarships, studentships and awards to support UK and overseas postgraduate researchers.

For more information about our scholarships, visit our funding page to search for scholarships, studentships and awards you may be eligible for.

We'd recommend you discuss potential sources of funding with your supervisor before applying. They can advise what funding may be available to you, and ensure you meet nomination and application deadlines.
