PhD Opportunities

PhD projects form an integral part of our research and training activities. We are open to collaborations and co-funding arrangements with public and private sectors and other universities.

All our PhD projects are fully funded, and are usually located within the School of Mathematics or the School of Physics and Astronomy.

Available projects

The list of project is currently being updated. Please continue to check back with us during October and November.

Current and past projects
