In the most recent Research Excellence Framework, 95% of our Computing Science and Mathematics research was rated world-leading or internationally excellent. As a PhD student researching Mathematics at Stirling, you’ll benefit from the support and expertise of leading academics who encourage you to think outside the box and tackle real problems affecting industry and society. The contributions of our postgraduate researchers play a vital role in our work, and we welcome applications from anyone who shares our passion for making a positive impact through Mathematics research.
A PhD in computing or mathematics can be the first step into an academic career and a passport to some of the most interesting technology jobs in the world. We are welcoming students for study towards a PhD or MPhil degree in data science, artificial intelligence, mathematics, biological modelling and other areas of computer science.
We have a limited number of funded places each year, and these are advertised on FindAPhD.
We also welcome students from the UK and abroad who have their own funding or who wish to develop a proposal to apply for a scholarship. We will help you develop your research question and your proposal with a view to you studying at Stirling. You may have your own ideas for a research question and we would be happy to help you shape them into a high quality PhD proposal. Alternatively, you may find one of our existing research projects the perfect fit for your own interests. We also offer a professional doctorate programme, in which you can work on a project for your employer (who covers the costs) and earn a PhD at the same time.
