Program details
Overview
The PhD in Mathematics at Western University is offered through the Department of Mathematics, which maintains active research groups across several areas of contemporary mathematics, including algebra, analysis and analytic geometry, homotopy theory, and noncommutative geometry. The program is thesis-based, requiring students to complete an original research thesis under faculty supervision within one of these research areas, building on graduate-level coursework in the student's chosen specialization. Full-time study is structured over twelve terms, equivalent to approximately four years. Applicants typically hold an approved master's degree, or equivalent, in pure mathematics. Through coursework and independent research, the program develops graduates' capacity for original mathematical research, preparing them for careers in academic research and teaching, as well as roles in industry, finance, and government requiring advanced mathematical and analytical expertise.
