The Department
With specialisms including pure and applied mathematics, data science, statistics, and actuarial science, maths at Essex has a broad reach. From exploring the economic impact of cow social networks to the mathematical modelling of brain evolution to improve patient care; from solving scheduling problems at the Port of Felixstowe to leading the data revolution at the heart of London’s “Tech City” and the University’s pioneering work on Big Data – our research explores issues that have a real impact on people’s everyday lives and the world around us.
As a growing and influential department, we still make sure our staff and students know each other personally – we are a true academic family. We are based in the university's new STEM Centre in the heart of Colchester campus. This is now a fantastic time to join the Department.
