Course Overview

Recent graduates are now working as lecturers and postdoctoral researcher at third-level institutes. Others are working in industry, including banking and finance, and in the Meteorological Service.

All PhD students in the College of Science will enrol in a Structured PhD: www.nuigalway.ie/science/rgroups.html

Short summary of the research area.

The research activity in Mathematics at NUI Galway covers a broad range of topics spanning algebra, analysis, geometry and topology. There is a particular strength in Computational Algebra, which has led to the establishment of de Brún Centre, with a mission is to support research in broad areas of algebra and its applications.

The various research groups within the discipline of Mathematics host a wide range of workshops, seminars and graduate courses, resulting in a unique and thriving graduate research programme.

Programmes Available
