About us

The School of Mathematics & Statistics combines world-leading research expertise in pure and applied mathematics and statistics.

In the UK's 2021 independent research assessment exercise (REF2021) 100% of our research activity was judged to be either world-leading (66%) or internationally-excellent (34%). Using this assessment we were ranked 1st in Scotland and 5th in the UK by the Times Higher Education.

We also regularly rank in the top 10 in the UK for teaching excellence, and if you choose to study with us you will benefit from our purpose-built learning facilities, our research-led teaching and our commitment to dedicated academic and wider support for students.

Much of this success is due to our aim to develop a nurturing and friendly environment for our students and researchers. We use our resources to build excellence in our own research, to develop collaborations and networks with others, and to enable our staff and students to continually develop within a positive environment.
