What you will study
University of Surrey PhD in Mathematics will give you extensive training for a career as a professional mathematician, ready for a future in academia, industry, government, or a wide variety of other fields. Visit the programme website for more information
You'll work closely with one or two supervisors, who you'll meet frequently to discuss your research and your career development. They'll oversee your progress, guide your critical thinking and offer advice throughout your studies.
During the first few months of your PhD, you'll enrol and attend a series of induction events, and work with your supervisor to design a personal development plan, which you'll update throughout your PhD.
You'll complete a number of taught modules, including assessments, to broaden your mathematical knowledge. Most of these will be completed in your first year, with some completed in your second year.
