Overview

Graduates of the doctoral study programme in Mathematics at Comenius University in Bratislava have deep theoretical and methodological knowledge of one of the key areas of mathematics: Discrete Mathematics, Mathematical Analysis or Numerical Mathematics at the current state of world research, master scientific research methods and creatively apply the acquired knowledge in practice.

Career opportunities

The rules for admitting students for doctoral studies in mathematics alone are set so that admitted students are immediately considered employees of the relevant departments and successfully completed doctoral students are of such high quality that they have not had a problem with applicability within the country or abroad.

This is due to the fact that there is only a very small number of students, and these studies can only be managed by the best graduates of the master's degree programme. These students are also confirmed during the selection by their future supervisor.
