City’s Department of Mathematics brings together high-quality undergraduate education and an active research body of academics and PhD students.
The department has a good reputation for student satisfaction and enviable graduate employability. Our undergraduate Mathematics courses are carried out in conjunction with a range of other departments, producing a truly interdisciplinary approach to the subject. The department’s research, in mathematical biology, mathematical physics, and representation theory, often conducted in collaboration with other institutions, regularly leads to publications in internationally excellent journals and presentations at global conferences.
The superb location of City’s campus provides excellent work experience opportunities for all students. The City of London financial district is home to leading international banks, insurance houses, corporate finance, accounting consultancies and the Stock Exchange. Many of our Mathematics graduates start and develop their professional careers in The City. The department is a supporter of the Good Practice Scheme of the London Mathematical Society, which is committed to working towards addressing the under-representation of women in mathematics in higher education.
The department offers a range of courses at undergraduate and research degree level.

The Department of Mathematics contains three research groups undertaking fundamental research in pure and applied mathematics:
The representation theory group focuses on modern aspects of the representation theory of finite groups, algebraic groups and related algebras, drawing motivation from geometry, statistical mechanics string theory.
The mathematical physics group focuses on quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, string theory and fluid dynamics. One of the distinguishing features of the mathematical physics group is its strong expertise on integrable systems.
The Mathematical Biology group applies mathematical methods to increase our understanding of the biological world, and the central focus is on the mathematical modelling of evolution. There are three main areas of research: evolutionary game theory, cultural evolution, and the modelling of evolution on networks.
