Applications accepted all year round

Mathematical Sciences at the University of Southampton invites highly qualified master’s or bachelor’s students to apply for our PhD or integrated PhD (iPhD) programme, respectively.

For the September 2017 entry to the programme, we offer 15+ fully-funded (i)PhD positions for UK/EU students in:

• pure mathematics,
• applied mathematics,
• statistics, and
• operational research.

We have one of the broadest communities of mathematicians in the UK. Our dynamic culture of intellectual enquiry is devoted to the development, understanding, and communication of mathematics at the highest international level. We collaborate not only with other mathematicians, but also with engineers, scientists, biologists and social scientists. Our postgraduate students are highly sought after by other Universities, business, industry, NGOs and governments worldwide.

Gain teaching experience by leading demonstrating and workshop sessions for our undergraduate programmes. Get to know the wider community of PhD students in our Faculty and across the University through our Faculty Graduate School series of workshops, seminars, and special and social events.

Funding is available to suitably qualified candidates. In order to qualify for the first selection rounds, candidates are advised to submit their application as early as possible.
