Overview

Throughout this as a research postgraduate you will be working under the supervision of an expert in your chosen field. To help you identify a topic and potential supervisor, we encourage you to find out more about our staff specialisms. Research areas within each field of Pure Mathematics there are multiple subgroups. In analysis, one subgroup concentrates on operator theory and function theory, the other on Banach algebras, cohomology and modules. In algebra there are subgroups devoted to the study of infinite groups, and finite classical groups and their geometries.

MPhil and PhD Mathematics at Newcastle University has a staff with research interests in:

fluid dynamics, including numerical modelling of quantum fluids (superfluid liquid Helium and Bose-Einstein condensates)
classical and astrophysical fluids (the Earth's core, planetary dynamos, accretion discs and galaxies)
cosmology, including the very early universe and quantum gravity

Research seminars and eventsWe run weekly research seminars in algebra and geometries, analysis, and applied mathematics, as well as postgraduate seminars led by students. Specialist courses are offered through the MAGIC distance learning consortium, sponsored in part by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).Partnerships and networksWe are part of:

the North British Functional Analysis Seminar
the North British Geometric Group Theory Seminar

Algebra and Representation Theory in the North, funded by the London Mathematical Society and the Edinburgh Mathematical Society

As a Mathematics PhD or MPhil student you'll be supported by your supervision team. You'll also go through a research training analysis to identify any skills that you need to develop.
