PhD study
At the Centre for Mathematical Cognition we are passionate about the research we conduct and provide a rich, innovative and supportive environment in which to study. We have a dynamic research community of talented researchers ready to share their expertise, in order to help you fulfil your career aspirations.
Here you will find key information about PhD study within the centre, hear from our students about their experiences and get information on how to apply.
Study with us
If you are interested in joining our team of PhD researchers you can find details of current funded and unfunded opportunities, along with instructions on how to apply, in the prospectus (below). Alternatively, if you prefer, you can browse our research pages to see the areas of research we are involved with. You can then enquire directly to a particular member of staff and they will be happy to help you develop your research proposal. If you have your own research proposal, and are either self-funded or have sponsorship, we would be interested in hearing your ideas.
