This PhD course offers research supervision across a broad range of pure and applied mathematics. You will work at the forefront of current research, engaging with specialised areas while working to contribute original ideas to your field.
You can pursue research in areas such as analysis, geometry and topology, number theory, and combinatorics within pure mathematics, or in fluid dynamics, mathematical modelling, mathematical physics, mathematical biology, applied and numerical analysis, and financial mathematics within applied mathematics. Through close supervision, you will refine your research questions, develop new techniques, and situate your work within the wider mathematical literature.
You will benefit from regular engagement with your supervisors and other academic staff, fostering a supportive and collaborative research environment. As your research progresses, you will develop independence while remaining part of a vibrant and intellectually engaged community.
What distinguishes this course is its strong integration within London’s wider mathematical community. Through UCL’s central London location, you have access to excellent networking opportunities and close research links with other leading universities. You also benefit from UCL’s involvement in the London School of Geometry and Number Theory (LSGNT) and the London Taught Course Centre (LTCC), which give you access to a rich programme of advanced courses and frequent seminars. These expose you to a wide range of research topics, techniques, and leading scholars beyond your home department.
By the end of your course, you will be well prepared for a range of career pathways, including academic research, industry, finance, and related fields.
