The Role and Department

The Department of Mathematical Sciences is one of the UK's leading Mathematics Departments with an outstanding reputation in teaching, research and students' employability. It has an active programme of internationally recognized research in Pure Mathematics, Mathematical and Theoretical Particle Physics, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, and Probability. The research culture is vibrant, with many visitors, seminars, international conferences and workshops. We aim to provide a supportive and friendly environment with a strong sense of community. The Department currently has over 100 permanent members of staff. In 2021, we moved to a newly constructed building, shared with Computer Science. Our Applied Mathematics group is a growing fraction of the Department with many ambitious early career researchers, studying fluids (astrophysical, biological, and geophysical) and biological phenomena using asymptotics, scientific computing, nonlinear dynamics, and applied geometry.
