Research profile

On this integrated degree you will join the broader Maxwell Institute Graduate School in its Bayes Centre home.

You will benefit from: dedicated academic training in subjects that include mathematical analysis, computational mathematics, multi-scale modelling, model reduction, Bayesian inference, uncertainty quantification, inverse problems and data assimilation, and machine learning; extensive experience of collaborative and interdisciplinary work through projects, modelling camps, industrial sandpits and internships; outstanding early-career training, with a strong focus on entrepreneurship; a dynamic and forward-looking community of mathematicians and scientists, sharing strong values of collaboration, respect, and social and scientific responsibility.

You will integrate into a vibrant research environment, closely interacting with many academics, comprising mathematicians from the University of Edinburgh and Heriot-Watt University. You will also engage with computer scientists, biologists, engineers, physicists and chemists providing their own disciplinary expertise. The programme is also complemented by many industrial and government partners.

Career opportunities

Companies in a vast range of areas, as well as government agencies, are very keen to develop modelling-based approaches and to incorporate data science into their existing models.

Prospective students are recommended to read the below government reports which make clear the tremendous scope for this area in the coming years.
