The PhD Mathematics of Complex Living Systems at the University of Exeter is designed for ambitious researchers aiming to tackle the intricate challenges at the intersection of mathematics, statistics, and the life sciences. You will delve into the modelling of complex systems, dynamical systems, and control theory, applying these powerful mathematical tools to pressing problems in areas such as living systems, healthcare, and climate science. This postgraduate research degree is ideal if you possess a strong quantitative background and a desire to contribute to interdisciplinary scientific advancement through rigorous mathematical investigation.
This full-time, on-campus PhD programme, typically completed over four years, offers you the opportunity to conduct original research within world-leading research centres like the Centre for Systems, Dynamics and Control or the EPSRC Hub for Quantitative Modelling in Healthcare. You will work alongside internationally recognised academics, developing advanced analytical and modelling skills through independent research, potentially contributing to projects within institutes such as the Living Systems Institute (LSI). You will graduate with a deep expertise in mathematical modelling of complex systems and be prepared for postdoctoral research or careers in scientific research and development across academia and industry.
