About Us

Research Provision in the Quadrivium

Athanasian Hall is an interdisciplinary research institute devoted to the study of pure sciences (including mathematics) from a classical perspective. Faculty include philosophers of science, mathematicians, physicists, and cosmologists. Students at any affiliate institute of the University of Cambridge may apply for specialist research support in the composition of a PhD or in the provision of the triposes in mathematics, physics, or philosophy thereof. Tutorial services for basic courses are not available, and only postgraduate-level provision is offered. Services are free of charge, but admittance and affiliation are highly competitive.

Commitment to Excellence

Fellows are selected on a 3-year basis for excellence in research. The typical fellow is a mathematician, physicist, or philosopher with some affiliation to a UK university that has a tradition of excellence in one or more of these fields. Selection is by nomination of an existing fellow and is determined by presumed or demonstrated ability to conduct original research in the Quadrivium.
