About us
The School of Mathematics and Statistics is home to experts in pure mathematics, applied mathematics, and probability and statistics.
Our research is helping to bring new understanding to the complex, intricate mathematical structures that the modern world is built on, with applications in disciplines ranging from finance to healthcare.
Sheffield's pure mathematicians work on some of the most abstract mathematical challenges, in fields including algebraic geometry and number theory.
We are an organiser of the Transpennine Topology Triangle, a key focal point for topology research in the UK.
To complement the University of Sheffield’s strengths in bioscience, we also have a critical mass of expertise in mathematical biology, while other researchers apply their expertise to particle astrophysics and cosmology, studying the most fundamental laws of the universe.
We host the internationally renowned Solar Physics and Space Plasma Research Centre, one of the UK's largest research groups in the field.
Study with us
We are training the next generation of mathematicians through our range of undergraduate and masters degrees in mathematics and statistics. We also recruit new PhD students to support our research across pure mathematics, applied mathematics, probability and statistics.
