University College London

Founded in 1826, UCL is London’s leading multidisciplinary university, with more than 13,000 staff and 42,000 students from 150 different countries. Last year, UCL was named University of the Year 2024 (The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2024).

We are a diverse community in the heart of London, with the freedom and courage to challenge, question and think differently. Through a progressive approach to teaching and research, our world leading academics, curious students and outstanding staff continually pursue excellence, break boundaries and make an impact on real world problems.

The Mathematics Department

UCL contributes to the Martingale Scholarship through the Department of Mathematics. Mathematics was one of a small number of disciplines established at UCL’s foundation in 1826. Today, the Mathematics Department is part of UCL’s Institute for Mathematical and Statistical Sciences (IMSS).

IMSS has a vibrant, diverse community of over 100 academic staff, hundreds of postgraduate students and thousands of undergraduates. They welcome a regular stream of distinguished visiting academics from home and abroad. The broad range of research interests cover many areas of modern pure and applied mathematics, including pure and applied analysis, statistical methodology, geometry and topology, number theory, inverse problems, fluid dynamics, mathematical modelling, numerical analysis, and financial mathematics.

Following the latest Research Excellence Framework assessment, mathematical sciences at UCL is currently ranked 8 in the UK in terms of research power. For the mathematics unit of submission, 97.9% of UCL’s papers were graded as 4* world leading or 3* internationally excellent, the second highest of any at UCL.

Department of Computer Science

UCL Computer Science is home to some of the world’s most influential and creative researchers in the field of computer science. 

A global leader in experimental computer science research, our degree programmes recognise the importance of computer systems in commerce, industry, government and science. Offering teaching by the brightest minds, we create innovative technologies that change lives with computers. The Research Excellence Framework (REF), which assesses the quality of research in UK higher education institutes, ranked us second in the UK for research power and first in England in the most recent evaluation.  

The Masters courses offered through Martingale for 2026

Mathematical Sciences

MSc in Mathematical Modelling

The MSc in Mathematical Modelling provides an ideal foundation for students wishing to advance their mathematical modelling skills. The programme teaches students the basic concepts which arise in a broad range of technical and scientific problems and illustrates how these may be applied in a research context to provide powerful solutions.

The programme is aimed at students with a background in a highly numerate discipline who wish to advance their mathematical modelling skills. Successful students will be well placed to satisfy the growing demand for mathematical modelling in commerce and industry, and will learn and practise the skills necessary to pursue further research. This MSc enables students to consolidate their mathematical knowledge and formulate basic concepts of modelling before moving on to case studies in which models have been developed for issues motivated by industrial, biological or environmental considerations.
