The PhD in Mathematics offers an intellectually stimulating and dynamic atmosphere in research both pure and applied mathematics.

Course Overview

Mathematics at Warwick covers a full range of both pure and applied areas. The Mathematics Postgraduate Degrees are appropriate for students with a strong and broad mathematical background who wish to continue to focus on primarily mathematical questions in their postgraduate work.

All students are required to undergo training in Year 1 and are encouraged to make use of further training opportunities available in subsequent years. Training ranges from gaining a broader knowledge of mathematics through taught modules seminars and workshops to enhancing your professional and transferrable skills. Our aim is to produce excellent PhD students who have undertaken high quality original research and who are well-prepared for a career either in academia or elsewhere.

Teaching and Learning

Students are required to complete a series of modules in theirs first year (from a very wide selection of bespoke modules) with assessment including an oral examination component. Upon the successful completion of these modules students are required to complete research project before being formally upgraded to a PhD at the end of the first year.

Training will be supplemented with attendance to seminars cohort building activities and additional transferable skills training.
