You can study for an MPhil or MRes over one year, or a PhD over the course of three years.
There are postgraduate research opportunities in all our research groups:
You can study an MRes in:
This project will develop effective solvers for linear systems in these RBF methods. In particular, we will focus on certain iterative methods (Krylov subspace methods) that start with an initial guess of the solution that is improved at each step.
The proposed project will use a variety of analytical and numerical methods to bring new understanding into a range of real-world problems involving thin films of both simple and complex fluids.
In recent years there has been an explosive growth of interest in the behaviour and control of fluids at small (typically sub-millimetre) scales motivated by a range of novel applications including ink-jet printing and lab-on-a-chip technologies.
Matrix balancing aims to transform a nonnegative matrix A by a diagonal scaling by matrices D and E so that P = DAE has prescribed row and column sums. Historical motivation for achieving the balance has included interpreting economic data, preconditioning sparse matrices and understanding traffic circulation.
This project will use the theories of liquid crystal fluids to model self-organisation and pattern formation in an active fluid - a type of liquid containing active organisms which interact with the fluid by swimming.
This project will use mathematical models of soil water and the growth of plants. Even for plants with complicated root densities we will look for analytical solutions of the models to help understand plant growth.
The aims of this PhD is to develop the truncated EM method are to study the strong convergence in finite-time for SDEs under the generalised Khasminskii condition and its convergence rate and to investigate the numerical stability of the nonlinear SDEs.
This project is to perform the stochastic and numerical analysis on the stock market linked savings accounts in order to establish the theory on the mean percentage of return (MPR).
Time dependent wave propagation and scattering is important in acoustics, electromagnetics and seismology.
In this project, you will meet with the challenge of developing and testing an individual based model to simulate the life history and dispersal of Sargassum muticum driven by coastal ocean currents.
The purpose of this project is to conduct a comprehensive extraction and synthesis of all the relevant data for demersal fish species in the Firth of Clyde.
In this project, you will meet with the challenge of developing an individual based model to simulate the growth and dispersal of a highly invasive seaweed (Japanese eelgrass) driven by coastal ocean currents.
Mathematics and statistics are at the heart of all scientific and engineering disciplines, and we have a strong international reputation in the use of modelling and analysis to solve many problems relevant to industry, business and wider society.
We work with researchers in other universities, from other disciplines and from industry, business and government sectors, across the UK, Europe, China and the USA.
All fees quoted are per academic year unless otherwise stated.
Entrants may be subject to a small fee during the writing up period.

Our PgCert RPD programme aims to ensure you get the most out of your current research activities at Strathclyde and help you prepare for your future career as a researcher.
We'll help you recognise and develop your transferrable skills that'll have a positive impact on your research, now and in the future.
The University Careers Service can help you with everything from writing your CV to interview preparation.
From financial advice to our IT facilities, we have a wide range of support for all students here at Strathclyde. Get all the information you need at Strathlife.
The Strathclyde Doctoral School provides a vibrant and comprehensive student-centred research and training environment in order to grow and support current and future research talent. The School encompasses our four faculties and is committed to enriching the student experience, intensifying research outputs and opportunities, and ensuring training is at the highest level. As a postgraduate researcher, you'll automatically become a member of the Strathclyde Doctoral School.

Read our step-by-step guide on how to submit your application.
How to applyYou require a fist-class or upper second-class UK Honours degree, or overseas equivalent, in a mathematical sciences related subject.
During the application you'll be asked for the following:
By filling these details out as fully as possible, you'll avoid any delay to your application being processed by the University.
Research supervisors are assigned to you by the Department of Mathematics & Statistics.
We ask that you highlight a potential supervisor in your application but the department will team you up with the best supervisor for your project.
Once we've received your application, your research proposal is passed to potential supervisors for consideration. If it's not compatible with the researcher's current projects and they are unable to supervise, it's passed along to another for consideration. If they can supervise you, they’ll confirm and nominate a potential second supervisor.
As soon as a second supervisor is confirmed, an offer will be sent to you through Pegasus, our online application system.
When you accept our offer of study, you'll receive a full offer in writing via the email address you'll have provided.
When you've accepted our offer, we'll need you to fulfil any academic, administrative or financial conditions that we ask.
If you're applying as a UK or EU student, you'll then be issued with your registration documentation.
An ATAS (Academic Technology Approval Scheme) clearance certificate is a mandatory requirement for some postgraduate students in science, engineering and technology.
You can apply for a postgraduate research degree at any point in the year.
All you have to do is complete an online application.
