Our research

Research in Mathematics and Computer Science at Exeter addresses a range of topics in Applied and Pure Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science. We run innovative research-led masters and postgraduate research programmes and have strong links to the Environment and Sustainability Institute and the Exeter Initiative for Statistics and its Applications.
