PhD in Applied Mathematics and Statistics

Nowadays, science and technology are rapidly developing with an ever-increasing impetus and a substantial part of knowledge is comprised of quantitative data. The analysis and interpretation of this data require the use of mathematical and statistical methods. The Applied Mathematics and Statistics doctorate program practiced by the Department of Mathematics enables the students to conduct advanced research for application in the fields of Engineering, Medicine, Physics, Biology, Computer Sciences under the supervision of advisors. The academic staff comprises dynamic lecturers who are capable of conducting efficient scientific research and publishing them in internationally recognized journals.

The Applied Mathematics and Statistics Ph.D. program is designed to enable the graduates to have a successful academic career and carry out scientific research.
