MPhil in Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics

The MPhil is offered by the Faculty of Mathematics as a full-time period of research and introduces students to research skills and specialist knowledge. Its main aims are to give students with relevant experience at first-degree level the opportunity to carry out focussed research in the discipline under supervision; andto give students the opportunity to acquire or develop skills and expertise relevant to their research interests. Opportunities to develop research and transferable skills also exist through attendance at training sessions organised at the Department, School or University level as part of the wider postgraduate programme, and informally through mentoring by fellow students and members of staff.
