The MPhil in Mathematics of Complex Living Systems at the University of Exeter is designed for ambitious postgraduate students eager to tackle the intricate challenges found at the intersection of mathematics, biology, and environmental science. You will explore the fundamental principles governing complex systems, dynamical systems, and control theory, with a strong emphasis on their applications within living systems, climate science, and quantitative healthcare modelling. This interdisciplinary degree is ideal if you possess a strong mathematical background and are driven to develop innovative solutions for pressing global issues, leveraging the power of mathematical and statistical tools.
This full-time, on-campus Masters programme spans three years, immersing you in a research-intensive environment. You will work alongside leading academics within Exeter's dedicated research centres, such as the Centre for Systems, Dynamics and Control, the EPSRC Hub for Quantitative Modelling in Healthcare, and Exeter Climate Systems. Your studies will involve advanced theoretical work, computational modelling, and potentially contributing to real-world research projects. You will graduate with advanced analytical skills and a deep understanding of complex systems, preparing you for doctoral research or impactful roles in scientific research and development.
