Our research group operates in what is perhaps the most widely applied area of mathematics. The financial sector, in particular, is a major focus of our research, and graduates with the right research experience can make their way into highly rewarding roles in industry.

As part of our small, specialised group, you'll enjoy a research environment that features a balance between theory and practice, access to one of the most powerful computing facilities in the UK and strong links with relevant industries.

The School of Mathematics is a vibrant community of more than 60 academic and related staff supervising 60 students.

Our research focuses on the following themes: stochastic differential equations and stochastic partial differential equations (PDEs) and their applications in nonlinear filtering and stochastic control; applications of stochastic analysis of PDEs, stochastic PDEs and stochastic differential equations (accelerated numerical methods in particular).

Career opportunities

Many of our graduates take up lucrative positions with high-profile financial companies. A large number also pursue careers in academia, while others apply their skills in engineering or biological sciences.
