The School of Natural & Mathematical Sciences delivers world class research, education and innovation building on the significant presence of physics, chemistry and biology across the College and combining it with the School’s strengths in mathematics, telecommunications and informatics. Mathematics has been studied at King’s College London throughout its history and the first Professor of Mathematics was appointed in 1830.
The Mathematics MSc is for Mathematics graduates and provides a basic training for a research degree.
"After completing my undergraduate degree I worked for several years as a software engineer in the City and my career was going well, so returning to study was not a decision I took lightly. It proved to be the right one, since the MSc in Mathematics at King's has opened up opportunities I could never have had otherwise. The best thing about this programme is the great mathematics options. I was able to choose modules in analysis, my favourite area, which were interesting and fit together well. The classes are small, which means I really got to know classmates and lecturers; and the individual project was a chance to study current research, something I never got to do at undergraduate level."
James Oldfield, MSc Mathematics
"I am a member of the King's Analysis group which is one of the most active and successful Analysis groups in the UK. Much of our research is related to operator theory and differential equations, and in particular to spectral theory and its applications. In Pure Mathematics, our Department also has outstanding research groups in Geometry and in Number Theory. On the applied side, the research strength of the Department lies in the following three fields: Disordered Systems, Financial Mathematics, and Theoretical Physics. King's graduates are highly sought after both nationally and internationally in research institutions and higher education as well as in a wide range of professions."
Professor Eugene Shargorodsky, Mathematics Department
London’s most central university, with four river-side campuses in a single square mile in the heart of London. The campuses are located either side of the Thames – Strand, Waterloo, Guy’s and further south, Denmark Hill. The college is associated with four great hospitals of Guy's and St Thomas’, King’s College Hospital and South London and the Maudsley.
The Faculty's London-based departments are at the Strand and Waterloo campuses. Most buildings at the Strand Campus overlook the Thames, midway between the Houses of Parliament and St Paul's Cathedral, next door to Somerset House and the Courtauld Institute of Art, close to the Royal Courts of Justice. Within five minutes' walk of the Strand are Covent Garden, many West End theatres, and Trafalgar Square, home to the National Gallery and the National Portrait Gallery.
The Waterloo Campus is next to London's South Bank arts and cultural quarter which includes the National Film Theatre and BFI Southbank, the Royal Festival Hall, the Hayward Gallery and the National Theatre. Three minutes walk away is Waterloo Station.
