London Taught Course Centre for PhD students in the Mathematical Sciences

EPSRC has approved funding for a bid from a consortium of institutions in the London region for "pump-priming" funds of 400K to establish a Taught Course Centre in London. The consortium, led by QMUL, UCL and Imperial (Statistics), and also comprising KCL, LSE, City, Brunel and Kent, will run a programme of courses in mathematics and statistics for PhD students one day a week at de Morgan House (the Russell Square headquarters of the London Mathematical Society) from October 2007, and also a programme of short intensive courses on "hot topics" in the mathematical sciences.
The London network is one of 6 selected nationally for funding by EPSRC. Our primary objective is to ensure that all mathematical sciences research students experience a broad mathematical culture covering at least one (and ideally more) of the three areas: pure mathematics, applied mathematics and statistics. By pooling our resources we intend to make best use of the huge reservoir of mathematical expertise available in the London region and offer an inspiring programme of modules.
