The MASDOC Doctoral Training Centre is funded by a £4m grant from the EPSRC, and run jointly between the Department of Mathematics and the Department of Statistics at Warwick. Warwick Pure Mathematics was ranked 2nd in the UK in the 2008 RAE and Applied Mathematics ranked equal first in the UK for the proportion of its research given the top 4* “worldleading” rating. Warwick Statistics Department is one of the strongest in the UK in research. A quarter of its research activity was assessed at the very highest level (4*), “Quality that is world-leading in terms of originality, significance and rigour”.
Research Groups
Analysis which provides the language and tools for mathematical formulations, well-posedness and qualitative study of models of continuum phenomena in large multi-scale and multi-physics applications.
Computation and Numerical Analysis for the numerical simulation of complex models. The design of good computational methods is a significant mathematical challenge requiring the interplay between analysis and computing in the context of applications.
Probability to provide a detailed and rigorous understanding of the behaviour of complex stochastic models motivated by applications.
Statistics for inference in both deterministic and stochastic models, exploiting the increasing volume and quality of data now routinely available in many areas of science and technology.
Research Degrees
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
Standard Duration: 3 years full-time
With independent research on topics in Mathematics and Statistics, the MASDOC doctoral training programme lasts four years and comprises an innovative taught-course component and PhD research of the highest standard. Up to 10 funded studentships, providing fees and a stipend, will be available for the entry in October 2012.
Taught Master’s Degree
MASDOC MSc in Mathematics and Statistics
Duration: 1 year full-time
Places available: 10
The Mathematics and Statistics DTC provides research training in the form of an MSc. On completion of the MSc, all MASDOC students are expected to complete a PhD programme in Mathematics or Statistics.
