Our Research
Mathematics research takes place within the auspices of a Mathematics Research Institute at the University of Exeter. We run innovative research-led masters and postgraduate research programmes and have strong links with regional, national and international researchers.

We aspire to be a unique research unit unconstrained by traditional disciplinary boundaries, where new methodology in mathematics is explored, developed, and successfully applied to address cutting-edge problems in science, engineering and medicine. We aim for world-renowned excellence in research and teaching as a vibrant and attractive cross-disciplinary institute for Mathematical Sciences research.
Our reputation for high quality research is reflected in that fact that we are one of only four UK universities to enjoy an academic partnership with the Met Office. Our activities are based at the Streatham Campus in Exeter and at our Penryn Campus, near Falmouth in Cornwall.
We run a wide range of regular seminars and colloquia and host visits from internationally renowned scholars. These span a wide range of topics and provide students and academics from across the University with a platform to meet and discuss the latest research in mathematics.
Exeter Initiative for Statistics and its Applications (ExIStA)
We support Statistics across the university and within the region via the Exeter Initiative for Statistics and its Applications.
For more information or any enquiries please contact the Director of Research, Professor John Terry.
Women in Climate network
Women in Climate is a network of early career researchers within the climate disciplines of mathematics and geography at the University of Exeter. The network holds monthly meet-ups and discusses a broad range of issues relevant to climate researchers and women in general. Visit the Women in Climate website.
