About GCHQ

GCHQ – the Government Communications Headquarters – provides intelligence, protects information and informs relevant UK policy to keep our society safe and successful in the cyber age. With customers including government organisations such as the Ministry of Defence and the Foreign & Commonwealth Office, as well as overseas governments and law enforcement agencies, we play a huge role in informing national security, military operations, police activity and foreign policy.

Mathematician Student Scheme

You’re a committed mathematician, aiming to continue advanced mathematical research into your career. You enjoy solving complex mathematical problems, from tackling cryptographic algorithms to analysing challenging data sets. And you’re keen to use – and even develop – novel mathematical techniques.

We’re GCHQ – the UK’s cyber security experts, helping to protect the UK’s people, businesses and interests against a variety of online threats in the cyber world. And we’re one of the few non-academic centres where you can use, stretch and develop your maths research skills in a real world setting.

Our summer student scheme is now open to high quality students who are expecting a 1st class honours degree in maths, or a joint honours with maths as the main component.

To apply you’ll need to have completed two years of your degree. You must also include a letter from your professor, senior tutor or head of department confirming your expected final degree result.
