PhD studies can be undertaken in the following areas: mathematics, mathematical statistics, and computational science. There are currently 19 active PhD students working at our department.
PhD students at the department of Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics are as a general rule employees of the university under a fixed-term contract of 4 years full-time research. Quite often, a moderate amount of teaching can be part of the position in which case the term can be extended to a maximum of 5 years. PhD students at the department are required to take a certain amount of graduate courses, normally corresponding to two years study. During the remaining time the PhD student works under the supervision of his/her thesis advisor(s) on completing a PhD thesis, which would typically consist of 4-5 publishable papers on the subject of study.
