Enjoying your degree in mathematics? Discover where further study in maths can take you. Yes, that’s you!
A PhD in mathematics can offer you independence, challenging problems and an inspiring job, including team-work, travel opportunities, and the opportunity to make a difference. 
Part of this event will be aimed at encouraging female mathematics students to apply, and part will be open to all. Please see below for details of the schedule.
The aim of this event is to encourage female, including those who self-define as women or whose gender identity includes “woman” or is non-binary, mathematics students from across the UK to consider continuing their studies to PhD level. The event features talks from mathematicians working both in universities and industry, giving insight into their current roles and their careers to date. Even more importantly, there is ample time to talk in small groups to the other participants who are facing the same decisions, and also to current PhD students who have recently faced the same questions.
How to apply
Applications for this event are now closed, however we do have a limited number of spaces available for our Wednesday afternoon session, which is open to all undergraduate and masters students.
If you are interested in attending the afternoon session, please contact maths-conference-administrator@bristol.ac.uk for further details.
