For complete and up-to-date information about this course, please visit the relevant University of Oxford course page via www.graduate.ox.ac.uk/ucas. The Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Mathematics of Random Systems is a four-year doctoral programme that offers academically outstanding students training in the areas of probabilistic modelling and stochastic analysis at Imperial and Oxford. This course is taking part in a continuing pilot programme to improve the selection procedure for graduate applications, in order to ensure that all candidates are evaluated fairly. For this course, the socio-economic data you provide in the application form will be used to contextualise the shortlisting and decision-making processes where it has been provided. The Mathematics of Random Systems CDT offers a comprehensive four-year doctoral training course in stochastic analysis, probability theory, stochastic modelling, computational methods and applications arising in biology, physics, quantitative finance, healthcare and data science. It provides solid training in core skills related to probability theory, stochastic modelling, data analysis, stochastic simulation, optimal control and probabilistic algorithms. Research topics focus on five foundation areas:
- Stochastic analysis: foundations and new directions
- Stochastic partial differential equations
- Random combinatorial structures: trees, graphs, networks, branching processes
- Stochastic computational methods and optimal control
- Random dynamical systems and ergodic theory
- Randomness and universal behaviour in physical systems
- Stochastic modelling and data-driven modelling in finance
- Mathematical modelling in biology and healthcare
- Mathematical and algorithmic challenges in data science
- Mean-field models and agent-based modelling
