Overview

Mathematical Sciences students at Nanyang Technological University is offered by the Division of Mathematical Sciences at the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences. Graduate students take advanced courses focusing on active research topics, and perform research under the supervision of a faculty member.

Our students receive intensive support in their theoretical work, as well as in practical and computational aspects (where appropriate), including access to state-of-the-art computational resources. The programme culminates in writing and defending a doctoral research thesis before a panel of experts.

PhD Thesis

Student must write a research thesis. Once the student and supervisor have agreed that the thesis is ready, it should be submitted online (via GSLink → Academic → Thesis → Thesis Submission). After being endorsed by the supervisor, the thesis is sent to three independent examiners for evaluation. After this evaluation, the student must defend the thesis in an oral examination scheduled by the school.
