MA by Research Mathematics in Carlilse United Kingdom | University of Lancashire

If you're looking to take the first step into research, an MA (by Research) is an ideal award. You'll undertake an independent project to help you gain qualitative and quantitative research skills. These skills will be vital when you carry out a long-term project. If you are aiming to study for a PhD, the MA (by Research) will prepare you for study at PhD level. It will also enable you to gain subject-specific research skills for professional development purposes. Our Mathematics research covers a wide range of pure, applied and education focused maths. Current research interests are in combinatorial aspects of algebra, in functional analysis and its interactions with algebra and group representations, and in model theory. In applied mathematics, members are interested in mathematical acoustics, including analytical techniques in aeroacoustics, underwater acoustics, and loudspeaker design. We have members researching pedagogy and mathematics education, in particular fostering engagement and mathematical resilience, from primary school to HE and adult learners returning to education.
