The Department of Mathematics at IST offers programs covering a broad range of topics leading to a Doctoral Degree. Candidates are admitted to either the Doctoral Program in Mathematics or to the Doctoral Program in Statistics and Stochastic Processes. They can also choose to pursue their PhD degree in one of the international IST collaborations:

Joint Doctoral IST-EPFL Initiative in Mathematics (http:/www.ist.utl.ptenabout-ISTglobal-cooperationIST-EPFL/); University of Texas at Austin-Portugal PhD Program in Mathematics (http:/math.utaustinportugal.org); CMU-Portugal ICTI Program in Applied Mathematics (http:/www.fct.ptapoiosbolsasconcursoscmu2011.phtml.en)

The Doctoral Programs offer both in depth and in breadth preparation in Mathematics, and they include basic and advanced courses in analysis, algebra, logic, geometry, topology, differential equations, dynamical systems, mathematical-physics, numerical analysis, probability and statistics, and the theory of computation. Students interested in Applied Mathematics can study applications in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Finance, Information Systems and Engineering, and have access to courses in scientific subjects related to their research offered by other Departments at IST. All students are encouraged to take advantage of the many research seminars and colloquia offered by the Mathematics Department. Classes with foreign students enrolled are taught in English. Applications for financial support are now open.
