Overview

Features

Among other research facilities, students at The University of Manchester have access to one of the finest libraries in the country, the John Rylands University Library, which has made a very large commitment of resources to providing comprehensive online facilities for the free use of the University's research community.

Mathematics PhD students also benefit from easy access to high-performance computing facilities and licenses for specialist mathematics software. The Department of Mathematics at Manchester is one of very few in the country to have direct access to an experimental laboratory, through the Manchester Centre for Nonlinear Dynamics, with Applied Mathematics PhD students in this group able to undertake both theoretical and experimental research.

Many weekly research seminars are held in the Department, which allow staff and research students to stay in touch with the latest developments in their fields. These include an informal seminar series organised and given by Applied Mathematics PhD students in the department. The Department 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.
