Aim

The School of Mathematics and Physics is a research-led academic unit of over 100 faculty members, spanning across five departments. We aim to develop cutting-edge solutions to challenging problems through world-class research and innovation.

We have a high level of engagement in interdisciplinary research and with industry. The interdisciplinary research activities in the School span the breadth of pure and applied mathematics, probability and statistics, theoretical physics, and their applications in engineering, business, and health sectors.

 AWARDED PROJECT/GRANT (AS OF DECEMBER 2023)

The school is especially proud of its achievements in winning grants from research councils, local government and industry.
