The School of Mathematics of the University of Edinburgh and ENODA invite you to participate in the Edinburgh Undergraduate Operational Research Challenge. The challenge is to design a solution for a practical problem using operational research. If you are interested in using numerate techniques to solve practical problems and enable decision-makers to execute better decisions and make a difference for society, then this challenge is for you!

The PhD in Statistical and Applied Mathematics at the University of Bath is now accepting applications. This is a fully-funded 4-year programme that offers topics in a range of areas of applied mathematics; machine learning is represented very strongly among those. 

If you would like to solve real-life problems using statistics and operational research to have positive impact on business, the economy or society, then consider applying to the STOR-i Centre for Doctoral Training to start in October 2026. Joining STOR-i will enable you to:
