Our future

Supported by significant university investment, the faculty is in a period of ambitious growth and investment, which aims to build upon current strengths in natural and mathematical sciences and establish King’s as an outstanding global institution in science and technology.

The Department of Mathematics

The Department of Mathematics at King’s College London has a distinguished scientific tradition in pure and applied mathematics and statistics. Since its foundation in 1830, it has established a reputation as a world-leading centre for the research, undergraduate study and postgraduate study of mathematics. The department has grown by 32% over four years to 77 academics and has made advances in equality and diversity with the successful hiring and raising the profile of female staff. This year we welcomed 264 undergraduates, 203 postgraduates, and 24 PhD students, with overall student figures having grown 11% over the past four years. The study of mathematics has never been more important nor more highly valued than it is today. Whether at undergraduate or postgraduate level, mathematics covers a huge spectrum of fascinating topics and addresses fundamental questions about the universe, whether through new discoveries or applications. Our courses offer a wide range of required and optional modules in pure and applied mathematics, with topics that include pure mathematics, string theory, data analysis, and mathematical finance amongst others. We aim to develop graduates with a pioneering mindset through research-led teaching which explores new ways of looking at familiar issues and develops new tools to solve complex problems. Our broad education portfolio, influenced by the research interests and activities of our academic staff, includes three-year BSc courses in Mathematics, Mathematics with Management and Finance, and Mathematics with Statistics, with optional pathways to study abroad or in industry, and a four-year MSci course in Mathematics. Postgraduate taught students can follow one of 5 MSc courses in Mathematics, Financial Mathematics, Complex Systems Modelling, Theoretical Physics and Statistics, and postgraduate research students receive supervision and support from one of the 8 departmental research groups.

Research Groups in the Department of Mathematics

• Analysis • Disordered Systems • Financial Mathematics • Geometry • Number Theory • Probability • Statistics • Theoretical Physics All research groups run their own seminar series and lead in the organisiation of conferences and other research meetings. As well as advancing our core disciplines, our staff are involved in interdisciplinary research collaborations both internally within King’s and externally. They have formed partnerships with colleagues in all departments within the Faculty , and across the institution, for example with the Randall Centre for Cell and Molecular Biophysics, part of the Faculty of Life Sciences and Medicine. Externally they work with the Francis Crick Institute and industrial partners such as EDF Research, the Pensions Policy Institute, and Unilever. Research income for the department is on a rising trajectory, having almost tripled in the last 5 years. The Department is committed to Outreach activity and boasts a number of impressive widening participation initiatives aligned with the Faculty’s overall mission to provide young people, their supporters and our local communities with high-quality STEM engagement opportunities. This includes The King’s Factor, a free after-school programme aimed at supporting Year 12 and 13 students to build their maths skills. Maths Circles are aimed at pupils in years 7-11 and provide training sessions to promote problem-solving and structured thinking. We have a strong partnership with the King’s College London Mathematics School, recently enhanced through the appointment of its founding head as a Professor of Practice in the Department of Mathematics.
