Course content

The School of Mathematics has an outstanding research reputation. The research facilities include one of the finest libraries in the country, the John Rylands University Library. This library has recently made a very large commitment of resources to providing comprehensive online facilities for the free use of the University's research community. Postgraduate students in the School benefit from direct access to all the Library electronic resources from their offices.

Many research seminars are held in the School on a weekly basis and allow staff and research students to stay in touch with the latest developments in their fields. The School is one of the lead partners in the MAGIC project and research students can attend any of the postgraduate courses offered by the MAGIC consortium.

Opportunities for PhD research are available in a wide range of topics in Numerical Analysis. For some of the available areas of possible PhD research please visit the Numerical Analysis research page or the Numerical Analysis group website . For more details about the specific projects, please contact the relevant individual members of staff or get in touch with the Numerical Analysis Postgraduate Admissions Tutor .
