About us
We are one of the University's founding departments, with staff and students from around the world.
We have a diverse range of disciplinary and interdisciplinary research collaborations, across the University and worldwide. These enable us to cultivate a dynamic and creative environment for the advanced study of mathematics.
We cover the full spectrum of mathematical sub-disciplines at undergraduate and postgraduate level. Every student is supported by academic and pastoral supervision, problems classes, small-group seminars and peer-assisted learning run by our proactive Mathematics Society.
Having the opportunity to study a wide range of subjects was really fantastic. My options ranged from data structures to 3D heat distribution to quantum mechanics. It's that breadth that has given me a wonderful grounding as I've moved around.

Our vision
We conduct world-leading mathematical research, advancing the development of mathematics itself and generating benefit for society and industry.
As a research-led department, we pursue the development of abstract mathematical concepts and translate mathematical structure and understanding into a theoretical foundation for interdisciplinary research collaboration. Our research strengths inform our teaching and inspire students to develop logical insight and problem-solving skills.

Equality, diversity and inclusion
We believe that there should be no barriers to academic careers or study, and strive to provide a teaching and learning environment that is inclusive and supportive for all.
We are proud to hold an Athena Swan Bronze Award in recognition of our commitment to gender equality in STEM subjects.
