Mathematics and statistics project types
When completing your application and making your selection for projects in mathematics and statistics, the process differs slightly, depending on if you're writing your own research proposal (student-led), applying for a supervisor-led project, or a combination of both.
- Student-led projects: quote the application code S3.5-MPS-Open and include the name of the proposed supervisor in your application.
- Supervisor-led projects: quote the relevant DLA project code(s).
- Combination of student-led and supervisor-led projects: quote S3.5-MPS-Open and the relevant project code(s).
This information only applies to projects in mathematics and statistics.
