Watch the video to hear from our current students about what they enjoy about the PhD programme.
Support and opportunities in SAMBa
You will be supported throughout your PhD from the moment you accept your offer with us.
Applying to the Centre for Doctoral Training in Statistical Applied Mathematics (SAMBa)
You can apply to SAMBa from 1 October to 30 June each year. Apply early as the application process is competitive.
What we do
We support PhD students to deliver multidisciplinary research, often in collaboration with external partners. Research ranges from modelling of data, to investigating fundamental movements of particles, to applying mathematics to real world phenomena.
SAMBa student experience
You'll get many exciting opportunities to expand your skillset and experience through participating in workshops, mentoring other students and going abroad.
Example SAMBa research projects
Students in SAMBa are undertaking a range of exciting research projects from across the spectrum of statistical applied mathematics.
Equality, diversity and inclusion in SAMBa
Diversity is an essential component of SAMBa's success and enables us to deliver the best research and training experience.
Integrative Think Tanks
We organise workshops involving PhD students, academics and external collaborators, to formulate challenges into mathematical problems.
Collaborative research with SAMBa
We have kick-started a wealth of exciting research projects undertaken with industrial partners.
