Ross Lund, PhD in Mathematics (2014)

Why did you choose Bristol?

The combined strength of my two departments, coupled with the structure of the joint honours degree programme made Bristol a very attractive place to come.

When I came to visit I was sold, the city is one of the best places to live in the UK, and the University is very much integrated into the city centre.

Why did you decide to study mathematics?

I was interested in science from a young age, and maths and physics provide the deepest insights into the workings of the natural world - underpinning all aspects of science in general.

Why did you choose to remain here for postgraduate study?

Bristol is a community of research academics, as you get further through degree study you see that scientific research is the lifeblood of a university like Bristol.

I was inspired into research study by the passion of various members of academic staff here in Bristol - which is very much reflected in the teaching.
