What does it involve?
Our vacation scholarship program provides selected undergraduates a supervised introduction to research in mathematics or statistics. Successful candidates are matched with a member of staff according to their general strengths and interests, whether it be pure, applied, maths or stats. As well as learning new things for the purpose of research goals, the vacation scholars gain work force experience and have the chance to meet, socialise and make friends with students of similar interests. It is particularly recommended for students, either advanced second years, or current third years, who are seriously considering our honours or new generation masters programs.
Our department can offer projects across the disciplines of mathematics and statistics, with staff members active in the areas of
- Algebra, Number Theory & Representations
- Analysis & Set Theory
- Applied Mathematics
- Complex Systems
- Discrete Mathematics & Algebraic Combinatorics
- Geometry & Topology
- Mathematical Physics & Statistical Mechanics
- Operations Research
- Statistics
- Stochastic Processes
