Tweleve-month full-time research programme which invovles minimal formal teaching: students are integrated into the research culture of the Department of Pure Mathematics & Mathematical Statistics (DPMMS), or the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretial Physics (DAMTP).


The School of Physical Sciences offers the following MPhil course, with admissions via the Department of Physics:

MPhil in Data Intensive Science

This ten-month course aims to take science graduates and to prepare them for data intensive research careers by providing advanced training in three key areas – Statistical Analysis, Machine Learning, and Research Computing – and their application to current scientific research frontiers.


The Judge Business School offers the following MPhil courses, taught jointly by the Business School, the Faculty of Economics, and the Faculty of Mathematics:

MPhil in Finance
