The vision for this Centre stems directly from the international-review finding that, while the UK PhD standard remains high, recent changes in content of undergraduate degrees along with pressure for PhD completion result in reduced opportunity for PhD candidates to study mathematical sciences outside the immediate areas of their research projects. Modular lecture courses and short intensive courses are proposed. with an emphasis on personal contact, introducing students to an exciting wide range of topics in pure and applied mathematics and statistics, and striking a balance between classical results and recent developments.

该中心的愿景直接源于国际审查发现，尽管英国博士标准仍然很高，但最近本科学位内容的变化以及完成博士学位的压力导致博士生在其研究项目直接领域之外学习数学科学的机会减少。建议采用模块化讲座课程和短期强化课程。强调个人接触，向学生介绍纯数学和应用数学和统计学中令人兴奋的广泛主题，并在经典成果和最新发展之间取得平衡。
