School of Mathematics and Physics

Welcome

The Lincoln School of Mathematics and Physics opened its doors in September 2014. It is the result of a close collaboration with industrial partners, and a £6.8m grant from the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) Catalyst Fund.

Our award-winning staff conduct cutting-edge research in fundamental and applied mathematics and physics, ranging from pure mathematics to applied nano-science at the interface between biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics. The School collaborates with top research institutions in Germany, Japan, Norway, the Netherlands, Singapore, Spain, and the USA.

We offer a range of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes from BSc up to PhD in both Mathematics and Physics. Our students are immersed in a supportive and nurturing teaching environment where research forms a key part of all our programmes, with students having the opportunity to work individually and collaboratively on independent research, culminating in final year projects.
