Postgraduate Research

Welcome to the postgraduate research webpage for prospective new phd students of the school of mathematical sciences., phd students on the steps of the maths building, may 2024.

Research students are assigned a PhD supervisor who has closely related mathematical interests, and with whom they agree on a programme of study and research. That programme includes advanced courses provided by the   London Taught Course Centre   (LTCC) , which is a joint initiative of several London Colleges. The School provides opportunities for acquiring skills through short courses such as   Mathematical Writing and students will also have the opportunity to gain experience in teaching.

Funding , usually for a period of 3.5 years, is available on an annual basis from both EPSRC and from Queen Mary, designed to cover the fees and living expenses.   See here   for current PhD studentship offers and a list of sample PhD projects.

If you are interested in doing a PhD with us, we recommend that you read about the application process and entry requirements . 

If you have any questions, the following key people are available to help you:

  • Katie Hale is our PGR Officer. She is happy to help you with any administrative queries about the PhD application process. 
  • Dr Reem Yassawi is the Director of Graduate Studies. Please contact her if you have any questions about our PhD Programme.

The PhD in Law programme at Queen Mary is one of the largest in the UK, with more than 120 research students. As a PhD student at the School of Law, you will be part of a diverse and cosmopolitan research community, as students come to Queen Mary from all over the world.

PhD students are a vital part of our research culture and you will be invited to attend regular research seminars at which faculty members, visiting scholars and PhD students present their work in progress.

This programme will:

Allow you to specialise in virtually any field of law you choose. All supervisors are qualified members of staff with their own major research projects and publications.

Give you research training, through a series of seminars at which you will be required to present your work, and through a formal research methods training course run at the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies. Participation in these courses is a compulsory part of the first year of research.

Allow you to study additional courses which are provided by the college on different aspects of the PhD research process.

Doctor of Philosophy - PhD

Full-time, 3 years started sep 2024.

Level RQF Level 8
Entry requirements

You will be expected to have a distinction on an LLM or equivalent qualification. In some circumstances the requirement will be applied flexibly, for example if an applicant has performed to distinction level in an LLM dissertation or has an outstanding undergraduate qualification. In exceptional cases, vocational experience in the proposed area of research may compensate for the lack of a master's degree, or a grade below that specified above. For example, working as a magistrate, judge, lawyer or expert for a considerable period of time, such as five years, in the proposed area of research will be taken into account. A relevant undergraduate degree in Law or its relevant equivalent qualification is necessary in all cases.

Applicants need to provide copies from their most recently taken academic qualification. This should include both the transcript showing the breakdown of your mark, including specifically the mark for any dissertation component taken), and a copy of the certificate confirming the overall grade. If you have also previously taken an under-graduate degree in Law, please include copies of your certificate from this degree, confirming the overall grade. For degrees taken in non-English speaking countries, applicants must submit transcripts translated into English by a notarized interpreter.

If you are a current LLM or MA student, you should include documentation relating to your previous course of study (for example, your LLB).

Simulated Trading Use Case – The School of Mathematical Sciences, Queen Mary University of London

Dr. Melania Nica (Senior Lecturer) and Jack Thompson (2024 graduate), School of Mathematical Sciences, Queen Mary University of London, share their experience with using IBKR Simulated Trading Platform for education.

When did you start using IBKR Simulated Trading Platform?

MN : In 2019, while working at University of Kent. I used it first in a student trading club which I set up for undergraduate maths students to practise investment. I started this club as an experiment at first, but it has proved truly fun and rewarding, not just for the students but for me personally. For one thing, it’s helped me think about how important it is to think creatively about incorporating experience in all my teaching.

When I moved to Queen Mary, I decided to incorporate the IBKR trading platform in my teaching when I was asked to teach the course Mathematical Tools for Asset Pricing. I always try to make the academic content more approachable and to connect it to how trading is done in practice. However, I find that no matter how clear the description, student learning can be enhanced by making them experience the process themselves.

JT : In the Spring term 2024, when I took Mathematical Tools for Asset Pricing and worked with it in the lectures.

How has using the IBKR platform helped you in your teaching/learning?

MN: As a lecturer teaching finance subjects to mathematics and actuarial science students, I have always believed in placing my teaching firmly in the context of the world students see, or expect to work in. This is easier in some subjects than others – my  finance assignments and exam questions always incorporate at least one issue that’s in the news, making it easy for students to research it (and hopefully motivating them to continue to follow issues). However, for some concepts that appear straightforward in theory (e.g. short-selling), I found it particularly puzzling that even advanced students struggled to transfer what they learnt from one context to another.

Also, some of the students would often talk to me about their interest in investment yet find it challenging to translate the concepts I taught such as portfolio theory or financial derivatives to the real world – as if the two were disconnected.  I did not realize until using the simulated trading platform how critical the step of the ‘how to’ was, in helping students make their learning functional. This is a really helpful tool for me also because I can easily refer to the students’ experience when trying to answer a question or clarify a concept.

JT: As a student, the paper trading account offered by IBKR has been instrumental in honing my trading strategies without the risk of financial loss. I've been able to apply and test the theoretical knowledge that I’ve gained in the classroom to real-world scenarios.

One feature that stands out to me is the Mosaic Market Scanner, which has provided me with a comprehensive toolset to analyse various aspects of the market. I particularly appreciate the ability to customise multiple filters for different sectors and industries, personally tailoring my scanners to include specific indicators of interest to me.

For instance, I've found tracking social sentiment to be incredibly insightful, as it offers a unique perspective on stock movements. By monitoring both the volume of discussions surrounding a stock and the sentiment scores associated with it, I've been able to gauge market sentiment more accurately. This insight has been invaluable in distinguishing between random noise and meaningful market movements. Understanding the underlying reasons behind price changes allows me to make more accurate predictions about the magnitude of these changes. Consequently, I can make more informed trading decisions, enhancing both my learning experience and my ability to navigate financial markets effectively.

Any final thoughts…

MN : We really should be showing our students ‘how to’ more often. Whether it is to short a stock or write an option – the connection between theory and practice is often not automatically formed! I am really appreciative of the IBKR Education offering because it allows academics such as myself to offer the experiential learning opportunity to students without consideration for costs or heavy investment in resources. In particular, the support I received from IBKR has been excellent.

JT : The opportunity to test my ideas and understanding on the paper trading platform has given me more confidence in my ability to navigate financial markets.
