162 PhD programmes in Mathematics in Europe

The spectrum of possible Ph.D research topics ranges from pure over applied mathematics to mathematical statistics. Ph.D projects may also be interdisciplinary, with close connections to other disciplines, such as mathematical physics or biophysics on the Mathematical Sciences programme from University of Göttingen.

Mathematics is in constant and vigorous development, driven both by its internal dynamics and by the demands of other disciplines. The spectrum of mathematical research at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne reflects both this vigor and this diversity.

The duration of this PhD educational programme is 4 years. This Mathematics programme is offered by the University of Szeged.

At the Department of Mathematics at  Aarhus University there are several directions of research; either in pure mathematics, stochastics or science studies. These encompass theoretical aspects as well as investigations of interest in other fields of science, such as for example physics, coding theory, computer science, and mathematical finance.
