Do you have a love for mathematics, climate, life or earth sciences? Do you love research and want to do a PhD but unsure about funding? Oxford and Cambridge university are offering fully paid scholarships to curious students that want to expand their minds while studying for their doctorate degree!
Oxford scholarship
This scholarship is specifically for students that have a strong mathematical background, particularly in probability and analysis. Students will need to have the following criteria:
- a first class honours degree in a Mathematics or a related degree discipline
- research interests that relates to the scientific areas covered by the CDT
- intellectual curiosity
- proficient in English
- familiar with analysis, probability, optimisation and partial differential equations
They also welcome applications from exceptional students in related subjects such as statistics, theoretical physics, computer science, engineering and natural sciences. Applicants are normally expected to be predicted or have achieved a first-class or honours degree (or equivalent international qualifications), in mathematics or a related discipline. The requirement for a first class degree with honours can be alternatively demonstrated by a strong degree at master’s level. International applicants are welcome to apply.
Apply now directly here on Oxford’s website. For more information, please go to Mathematics of Random Systems admissions page and register for the virtual graduate open day which is on Wednesday 24th November for more detailed information.
