7 courses also advertised in the Faculty of Mathematics
Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics - PhD
From the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics
This is a three to four-year research programme culminating in submission and examination of a thesis containing substantial original work. PhD students carry out their research under the guidance of a supervisor, and research projects are available from a wide range of subjects studied within the Department. Students admitted for a PhD will normally have completed preparatory study at a level comparable to the Cambridge Part III (MMath/MASt) course. A significant number of our PhD students secure post-doctoral positions at institutions around the world and become leading researchers in their fields.
Mathematics - MPhil - Closed
From the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics
The MPhil is offered by the Faculty of Mathematics as a full-time period of research and introduces students to research skills and specialist knowledge. Its main aims are:
- to give students with relevant experience at first-degree level the opportunity to carry out focused research in the discipline under supervision; and
- to give students the opportunity to acquire or develop skills and expertise relevant to their research interests.
Mathematics (Applied Mathematics) - MASt - Closed
From the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics
This course is an application stream for the Master of Advanced Study (MASt) in Mathematics; students should apply to only one of the application streams for this course.
This course, commonly referred to as Part III, is a nine-month taught masters course in mathematics. It is excellent preparation for mathematical research and it is also a valuable course in mathematics and its applications for those who want further training before taking posts in industry, teaching, or research establishments.
Students admitted from outside Cambridge to Part III study towards the Master of Advanced Study (MASt). Students continuing from the Cambridge Mathematical Tripos for a fourth-year study towards the Master of Mathematics (MMath). The requirements and course structure for Part III are the same for all students irrespective of whether they are studying for the MASt or MMath degree, or whether they applied through the Applied Mathematics (MASA), Pure Mathematics (MASP), Mathematical Statistics (MASS), or Theoretical Physics (MASTH) application stream.
Mathematics (Mathematical Statistics) - MASt - Closed

Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics - PhD
From the Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics
This course is a three to four year programme culminating in the submission and examination of a single research thesis. Students joining the course will often have completed prior study at a level comparable to our Part III (MMath/MASt) course and many have postgraduate experience. Our students, therefore, begin their PhD research with a good understanding of advanced material, which they build on in various ways throughout the course of their PhD studies. Our PhD students might have written several papers before they submit their thesis, and can go on to win academic positions at leading institutions around the world.
