www.essex.ac.uk/maths | Mathematical Sciences Why study mathematical sciences at Essex? n n n n n Strengths in several areas of Mathematics, including semigroups, combinatorics, applied probability, operational research, numerical methods, bioinformatics and mathematical modelling of biological and ecological systems Small and friendly department which gives you the opportunity to build good relationships with staff Maintains a long running tradition in teaching and research at the highest level Research students allocated their own office space and computing facilities International teaching and learning environment, with staff and students from countries outside the UK Career prospects Our programmes are tailored to meet the needs of you and your potential employers. An essential mathematical core in each of our taught courses is supplemented by a range of our own modules and those offered by other departments and schools. Our graduates are highly sought after by a range of employers and find employment in financial services, scientific computation, decision making support and government, risk assessment, statistics, education and other sectors. About our Department We have an international reputation in many areas such as semi-group theory, optimisation, probability, applied statistics, bioinformatics and mathematical biology. Our staff are strongly committed to research and to the promotion of graduate activities. Many are world leaders in their individual specialisms and their papers appear in learned journals like Communications in Algebra, Studia Logica, SIAM Journal in Optimization, IEEE Evolutionary Computation, Ecology, Journal of Mathematical Biology, and Journal of Statistical Applications in Genetics and Molecular Biology. Our staff have also written several well-regarded text books. We have our own computing laboratories, and our research students are provided with their own desktop PCs. We have a seminar series that runs throughout the year. Our graduate students are encouraged to attend these seminars and to contribute when they are at an advanced stage in their own research. In addition, our PhD students are encouraged to go to external conferences and, recently, some won a “Best Paper of the Conference” award. Being a small department has always been used to our advantage, as our students and staff get to know each other better. We link well with other departments at Essex in order to create innovative courses, co-supervise students on projects with a high mathematical content and undertake teaching for other departments. Recent activities in our Department include one PhD student, Fajriyah Rohmatul, visiting universities in Indonesia with two academic members of our staff. This trip was part of our University’s policy to build partnerships with overseas universities. The mathematical and technical knowledge, coupled with career and employability skills that you acquire through studying with us, means you become a well-rounded graduate, ready for a work environment that matches your studies, whatever that may be. Taught courses Our MSc courses provide a thorough and up-to-date training in your specified area of study. We have strong links with Essex Business School, our Departments of Economics and Biological Sciences and School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering, which enables us to offer courses not readily available elsewhere, like MSc Mathematics and Finance and MSc Financial Decision Making with Applications. In addition, we offer many popular taught courses with a high statistics content, such as MSc Statistics and Operational Research and MSc Statistics and Econometrics.
