The Midlands Graduate School (MGS) in the Foundations of Computing Science provides an intensive 
course of lectures on the Mathematical Foundations of Computing. It has run annually since 1999, 
and is hosted by the Universites of Birmingham, Leicester, and Nottingham in rotation. The lectures
are aimed at PhD students, typically in their first or second year of study. However, the school 
is open to anyone who is interested in learning more about the mathematical foundations of 
computing, and all such participants are warmly welcomed. We also very much welcome students from 
abroad.
