Leading a revolution in maths
Maths at Essex has a broad reach. From identifying key factors in
recession-hit towns to being at the centre of the University’s pioneering
work on data, you’ll join expert mathematicians who undertake
ground-breaking research which makes a difference every day.
We want you to be the best you can be and are committed to developing the
mathematicians, actuaries and statisticians of the future. We are
award-winning teachers and passionate academics, and our staff and
