PhD Mathematics

A doctoral programme for original research in pure and applied mathematics. Candidates take advanced topics courses in analysis, algebra and geometry, and probability, participate in research seminars, and pass a qualifying examination combining a breadth test with a research proposal. They then prove new results under supervision, present them at seminars and conferences, and submit papers to journals. The programme ends with a doctoral thesis defended before examiners. It suits holders of a strong master's in mathematics or a closely related field.
