Postgraduate Research
The Cardiff School of Mathematics offers an
exceptionally wide range of opportunities for
postgraduate study. Staff are engaged in research
projects in wide variety of fields. Research students in their first
year follow an agreed programme of study to introduce
them to research skills and methods and to advance
their knowledge in their chosen field. This includes a
broad choice of postgraduate lecture courses provided
through national collaborative networks such as MAGIC
(pure/applied mathematics) and NATCOR (OR/
statistics). Regular seminars provide insight into
cutting-edge research.
The principal areas in which the School offers supervision towards the research degrees of M.Phil and PhD. are the following:
- Analysis and Differential Equations
- Number Theory
- Applied Mathematics (Newtonian and non-Newtonian Fluid Dynamics, Mathematics and Mechanics of Deformable Solids, Numerical Analysis)
- Mathematical Physics (Operator Algebras and K-Theory, Statistical Mechanics and Conformal Field Theory)
- Statistics
- Operational Research
