## School Description:

Postgraduate study in the School of Mathematics offers students a range of subjects in pure mathematics, theoretical physics, and interdisciplinary subjects such as bioinformatics. The School is small and the setting is informal which encourages close contact with staff, postdoctoral fellows, visiting scholars and fellow postgraduate students. The workshops and guests of the School’s Hamilton Mathematics Institute (<https://www.tcd.ie/Hamilton/>) in addition to its joint seminars with the School of Theoretical Physics of the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies and Trinity's three neighbouring universities provide a stimulating intellectual backdrop to a student’s stay at Trinity.

Postgraduate students in the School may read for a PhD or M.Sc. degree by research. They may also pursue a one-year, full-time taught course either in High-Performance Computing or in Quantum Fields, Strings and Gravity. There are no formal course requirements for those pursuing a degree by research, but research students are expected to participate fully in appropriate seminars, colloquia and journal clubs. Prospective students are expected to possess a good honours degree (i.e. an upper second class at least) and to have the necessary background to pursue advanced study in their chosen field of research.

**Prospective applicants for PhD or M.Sc. by Research are advised to contact a staff member in the research area of interest. See here for more details: [www.maths.tcd.ie/research/](http://www.maths.tcd.ie/research/)**

**In exceptional circumstances it may be possible to register retrospectively. Applicants wishing to be considered for retrospective admission should contact the Graduate Studies Office by emailing [research.admissions@tcd.ie](mailto:research.admissions@tcd.ie)**
