Program Overview


Research profile

Our research-active academics are involved in cutting-edge research covering a range of topics including applied analysis, computational mathematics, continuum mechanics and mathematical physics, financial mathematics, operational research and applied statistics. We address problems of real biological or engineering importance and investigate the underlying mathematical and phenomenological processes. There is a strong emphasis on the development of innovative analytic, asymptotic, computational and hybrid methods. Our research also focuses on random matrix theory, quantum information theory, mathematical foundations of quantum mechanics, mesoscopic disordered systems, statistical mechanics, graph theory, matroid theory, and infinite-dimensional Riemannian geometry, algebraic geometry and orthogonal polynomials.

You will benefit from this integrated PhD programme immensely if you want to:

  • receive a more much guided and hands-on supervision of your learning and research process, especially if you come from more traditional teaching cultures
  • increase your chances for timely completion of your PhD programme in comparison to students taking traditional route PhD, cutting down the expenses associated with prolonged study
  • access to tailored, highly specialist research training not available as part of the support provided to traditional route PhD students
  • maximise your chances for a successful research analysis by applying practical assignments and training which are part of the integrated PhD directly to the research you do for your thesis
  • receive an official Postgraduate Diploma in Research in addition to your PhD award to certify the completion of skills training which may be required by employers in some countries if you wish to pursue an academic career

    Program Outline

    Research journey

    The Brunel Integrated PhD combines PhD research with a programme of structured research, professional and subject training. The programme typically takes 4 years (compared to 3 years for a non-integrated PhD programme). On successful completion, you will be awarded a PhD with an Integrated Postgraduate Diploma in Research in your chosen subject specialisation.

    The programme involves demonstrating through original research or other advanced scholarship the creation and interpretation of new knowledge, a systematic acquisition and understanding of a substantial body of knowledge at the forefront of an academic discipline or professional practice, the ability to conceptualise, design and implement a project for the general of new knowledge, applications or understanding at the forefront of the discipline.

    The programme of taught modules runs in parallel to your research work during the first three years of study, with the fourth year providing time for you to focus on writing up your PhD thesis. The taught modules cover research and professional skills as well as providing discipline-specific content. The Brunel Integrated PhD aims to support an individual’s development as a research professional. It aims to produce researchers who are well prepared to embark on careers as academics or professional researchers. As well as the skills to conduct and disseminate high-quality academic research, researchers will develop a range of broader (‘transferable’) skills to help ensure that their work has an impact in the wider world.

    Careers and your future

    You will receive tailored careers support during your PhD and for up to three years after you complete your research at Brunel. We encourage you to actively engage in career planning and managing your personal development right from the start of your research, even (or perhaps especially) if you don't yet have a career path in mind. Our careers provision includes online information and advice, one-to-one consultations and a range of events and workshops. The Professional Development Centre runs a varied programme of careers events throughout the academic year. These include industry insight sessions, recruitment fairs, employer pop-ups and skills workshops.

    In addition, where available, you may be able to undertake some paid work as we recognise that teaching and learning support duties represent an important professional and career development opportunity.

    Find out more.

    Following the completion of the course students may follow several career paths:

  • Career path within academia starting as a Post-doc or Lecturer/Assistant Professor at a university
  • Career progression within research institutions commencing as a Researcher and progressing to Senior Researcher.
  • Career path within the industry as a Research Scientist, Senior Research Scientists, Financial Analyst, etc.
  • Career path in secondary education as Maths teacher, Maths Subject Leader


  • Find a supervisor

    Our researchers create knowledge and advance understanding, and equip versatile doctoral researchers with the confidence to apply what they have learnt for the benefit of society. Find out more about working with the Supervisory Team.

    English Language Requirements

    All courses at Brunel have an English language requirement. This is listed on your

    course page

    under 'entry criteria'.

    If you need an English test, we recommend booking one early

    as there can be a long wait in some areas. You can also take our Brunel English Language Test (

    BrunELT

    ).



    What level of English do I need?

    In general, our courses ask for an English level of between IELTS 6.0 and 7.0 or equivalent. Some courses will have higher requirements (and will require you to also reach minimum sub-scores), so please

    check your course page

    for the exact level

    .

    If you do not meet the required level of English, you can take one of our

    pre-sessional courses

    .


    What English qualifications does Brunel accept?

    English qualifications we currently accept for degree level study include those listed below. We accept a wide range of other qualifications, so if you are unsure please get in touch with us on


    What English qualifications do I need if I wish to study English at Brunel before my degree course?

    If you need to study English before starting your degree, you should take one of the following tests at

    an approved test centre

    in order to apply for a Student visa:

  • IELTS (Academic) for UKVI SELT (minimum of IELTS 4 for overall and sub-scores)
  • LanguageCert International ESOL SELT (B1 level or above, Pass overall and  33 for each part)

    ,

    Trinity College Integrated Skills in English (ISE)

    , and

    Pearson PTE Academic

    .  For further details,

    contact us

    .


    I don't need to study English before I start my degree. Do I still need to provide proof of English language?

    All international students must show evidence that they meet the English requirement for their course of study. This applies even if English is the native language of your home country. If this is the case, a pass at high school level which is equivalent to GCSE Grade C or above is sometimes acceptable. Please see your

    country page

    for more information.

    If you don't need to study English before your degree and don't have relevant high school qualifications, we can still accept a non-UKVI-approved IELTS from an official test centre with the required scores. However, should you not achieve the required scores for your degree course, you will not be able to use this IELTS to apply for a Tier 4 visa for a pre-sessional English course in the UK. In some circumstances, if you don't have a UKVI IELTS, you may be able to attend an English course with a Short Term Study visa.
