Academic staff in the Department of Mathematics carry out pioneering research which is making an impressive impact on the world stage. In the most recent Research Excellence Framework (REF 2021) 96% of research output is rated world-leading and internationally excellent. The department has 20 staff performing research in a number of areas of pure, applied and applicable mathematics, probability and statistics, and information security. The main research interests in the department can be grouped into the following areas Algebra Discrete Mathematics and its Applications Number Theory Quantum Dynamics Statistics and Probability. From time to time, we make changes to our courses to improve the student and learning experience. If we make a significant change to your chosen course, we’ll let you know as soon as possible. PhD students have access to excellent computing facilities in the Department. In addition, staff members hold workshops and discussion meetings in a variety of areas on a regular basis. There are weekly seminars from national and international speakers. PhD researchers also benefit from Royal Holloway’s access to world-class research and library facilities in London and to advanced postgraduate courses in their research field shared with other University of London Colleges through the London Taught Course Centre.
Getting in
As the university states it
The minimum entry requirement for an MPhil or an MPhil leading to a PhD degree is the equivalent of a UK Upper Second Class Honours degree in an appropriate subject, although in many cases a Masters (or MSci) level qualification will also be expected. Candidates must also be demonstrably proficient in English. Before applying we recommend securing a supervisor in order to apply for your research project. We advise getting in touch with the Director of Postgraduate Education making an informal enquiry for your chosen research degree to inquire whether there is any other additional material they require you to submit in your application.
