Mathematics is an abstract and general science of problem-solving and method development.
As a doctoral student you will, by taking courses, gain a broad knowledge in various fields within mathematics. Through your dissertation work, you will gain in-depth knowledge in one or more areas. You will solve complex problems, such as proving theorems or more applied problems, by applying known methods, but also by developing new ones.
The graduate school is organised within the Department of Mathematical Sciences.
