Overview

Pursuing a full-time PhD typically involves three years of conducting research and one year of writing a thesis, supported by subject-specific and general skills training and development. A full-time PhD student must submit their thesis within four years (or six years for part-time PhD students).

Features

This Mathematical Sciences programme at Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University is based extensively on self-motivated research. Students on this programme are formally registered with the University of Liverpool as off-site postgraduate research students.

You will carry out research on XJTLU premises under the supervision of academic staff from both XJTLU and the University of Liverpool.

Programme Structure

Research

Pure mathematics, including algebra, topology, geometry, computer algebra, algebraic statistics, combinatorics, algorithmic combinatorics, number theory, and algebraic theory of differential and difference equations.
