Course content

From geometry and partial differential equations to fluid dynamics (including meteorology), data science (including statistics) and modelling within the life sciences, mathematics at Surrey offers an extraordinary range of research opportunities that lie at the heart of the critical scientific questions of our age.

As well as developing cutting-edge mathematics, our research also involves innovative applications in areas such as data analytics, wave energy, drug development, ecology, biological systems, theoretical physics, climate change and meteorology, crime forecasting and prevention, and machine learning.

We work closely with other academics, industries and research groups, ranging from internal collaborations with the Surrey Sleep Centre, the Surrey Institute for People-Centred Artificial Intelligence and the School of Veterinary Medicine, to partnerships with other institutions from around the globe. Our national and international collaborators include Harvard, Princeton, MIT, Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial and the ETH Zurich, plus leading businesses, such as AstraZenica and Offshore Wave Energy Limited, and government agencies, such as the Animal and Plant Health Agency, the MET Office and Surrey Police.

We’re part of the MAGIC network, which provides a large selection of PhD courses in pure and applied mathematics, so you’ll be able to explore these fields during your time with us. We’re also a host department for the SCENARIO NERC Doctoral Training Partnership.

We also have a joint Mathematics PhD course in partnership with the University of Milano-Bicocca in Italy.
