Our research group has strong links with both the Algebra & Number Theory and the Mathematical Physics research groups. You'll find these invaluable, as opportunities to discuss your work and expand your thinking abound. The School of Mathematics is a vibrant community of more than 60 academic and related staff supervising 60 students. Working within one of the largest mathematics groups in the UK, you'll be completing your degree in an environment that hums with a busy graduate school life, and you'll have the chance to make your mark in seminars, workshops, clubs and outings. Our interests include: algebraic geometry, derived categories, algebraic and geometric topology, twistor theory, category theory, integrable systems. The best way to do this is to involve yourself in the international dialogue on your research area, through attending conferences and symposia, and visiting your peers in centres of research worldwide. Throughout your studies, you'll be given opportunities to travel to events and institutions that will allow you to gain this perspective, and open up new areas of investigation.
