Mathematical Sciences at Liverpool offers wide opportunities for postgraduate study in an active research environment. Research is organised in 9 research groups, in addition to 3 research centres.

Overview

There are 12 active research groups in many areas of Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, holding research grants from EPSRC, STFC and other sources. State of- the-art computing facilities are available. The Department’s teaching was evaluated in the most recent survey by the Quality Assurance Agency and awarded a total of 23 points out of 24 (excellent).

The Department of Mathematical Sciences offers a wide range of opportunities for postgraduate research in four key areas: Applied Mathematics, Pure Mathematics, Theoretical Physics, and Financial and Actuarial Mathematics and Applied Probability. Our research strength has earned us the top numerical research rating in all four Research Assessment Exercises.

Our research interests closely match our research themes.
