We are one of the University's founding departments, with staff and students from around the world.

We have a diverse range of disciplinary and interdisciplinary research collaborations, across the University and worldwide. These enable us to cultivate a dynamic and creative environment for the advanced study of mathematics.  

We cover the full spectrum of mathematical sub-disciplines at undergraduate and postgraduate level. Every student is supported by academic and pastoral supervision, problems classes, small-group seminars and peer-assisted learning run by our proactive Mathematics Society.

Having the opportunity to study a wide range of subjects was really fantastic. My options ranged from data structures to 3D heat distribution to quantum mechanics. It's that breadth that has given me a wonderful grounding as I've moved around.

Our vision

We conduct world-leading mathematical research, advancing the development of mathematics itself and generating benefit for society and industry.

As a research-led department, we pursue the development of abstract mathematical concepts and translate mathematical structure and understanding into a theoretical foundation for interdisciplinary research collaboration. Our research strengths inform our teaching and inspire students to develop logical insight and problem-solving skills.
