Structure of the PhD Students are required to undertake a minimum of nine full-time terms of research (ie three years). Students are not registered for the PhD in the first instance but are instead admitted on a probationary basis. All students are assessed for registration towards the end of their first year of full-time study (usually June). This assessment is based on a short written report which is reviewed by two assessors. In the fifth term, there may also be a further assessment of progress, for which students submit a longer piece of written work and receive an oral assessment.

Admission Requirements
Applicants for this course should have achieved a UK First class Honours Degree.
The usual minimum entry requirement is a first-class honours degree, awarded after a four-year course in mathematics or mathematics/statistics, or a three-year degree together with a one-year postgraduate course in those areas. Part III (MMath/MASt) of the Mathematical Tripos provides such a course and many of the students in DPMMS have come through this route. The others have usually completed at least a comparable four-year undergraduate course, and many have postgraduate experience. Entry is competitive and a higher level of preparation may be required.
- Candidates are required to submit references or letter(s) of recommendation for acceptance
