Mathematical Physics Doctor of Philosophy - PhD

This programme is for those students in Mathematical Physics who do not belong to the Centre for Doctoral Training in Algebra, Geometry and Quantum Fields (AGQ). However, application for this programme is through the AGQ website, and all AGQ applicants are also considered for this degree.

This programme aims to train graduate students to research excellence in diverse disciplines, such as:

* mathematical and theoretical physics, including:

* geometry

* quantum field theory

* gauge theory

* gravity

You will navigate the many vibrant interfaces among these disciplines, learning to communicate ideas fluently across different areas of mathematics and physics, and harnessing the power of interfaces to advance research.

You may incorporate advanced computing methods in your research and will have the opportunity to work with some of our 30+ partners in the international academic community, industry, and the third sector.

You will also benefit from being part of the Edinburgh Mathematical Physics Group, a multidisciplinary research group with close connections to the School of Mathematics’ Algebra and Geometry and Topology groups.
