Widening Participation in Innovation and Research Careers
Career Information Event
For Mathematical and Computing Sciences
Do you love learning?
Do you enjoy being creative?
Would you like to contribute to the advancement of knowledge and technology?
If the answer is yes, you might want to consider pursuing a PhD.
This event is designed for current Warwick students early in their undergraduate studies. It aims to give more information about PhD programmes, discuss requirements and highlight pathways, in order to help students keep their options open. In particular, we will discuss summer research opportunities and provide advice on finding a project.
The event organised by the Doctoral Training Centres in Mathematical and Computing Sciences at Warwick University (Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, Modelling of Heterogeneous Systems).
Date & Venue
Wednesday 14th January 2026, 1.00-3.30pm

Representatives of the Doctoral College and the different Doctoral Training Centres will cover topics such as:
- Fellowships and funding
- Typical programme structure
- Research areas
- Requirements and pathways
14.00-15.00: Summer Research Opportunities
We will present a short overview of summer research opportunities, both at Warwick and elsewhere. Afterwards, there will be an opportunity to meet and chat to students that did a URSS project last summer and PhD students.
15.00-15.30: Networking
There will be the opportunity for informal discussions with staff and student representatives from the Doctoral Training Centres.
Registration
While everyone is welcome, space is limited and priority will be given to students from groups currently underrepresented in PhD programmes in Mathematical and Computing Sciences, such as the following: female or non-binary; Black or other minority ethnic group; living with a disability; care-experienced; low-income family background; first generation in higher-education.
To help us manage numbers, please register your interest by Monday 12th January by completing this form. You can choose to attend one or both of the sessions. In case demand cannot be met, we will organise another similar session in the near future.
Please note that this event is open to current Warwick students only.
