This doctoral programme develops advanced research expertise in pure and applied mathematics, covering problem solving, model analysis, and the foundations of mathematical reasoning. The department specializes in algebra, analysis, mathematics education, spectral geometry, applied mathematics, probability, and number theory. Students have access to regular seminars and colloquia, faculty supervision across these areas, a statistics consultation service, employment opportunities at the Mathematics Help Centre, and equipped computer laboratories. The programme leads to the Philosophiae Doctor (Ph.D.), comprises 90 credits, and has a nominal duration of four years of full-time study; students must be enrolled full-time for at least three terms and complete core coursework within six terms of initial enrollment. Before applying, candidates must contact a faculty member to secure agreement to supervise their research, since the programme cannot admit candidates without a confirmed supervisor.
