PhD in Mathematics

This is a doctoral (PhD) programme in Mathematics offered by the Doctoral School of the University of Szczecin, located in Szczecin, Poland, with instruction delivered in English. The programme is scheduled to begin on 2026-10-02, and candidates interested in applying should note the application deadline of 2026-05-07. As a third-cycle qualification, the doctoral programme in Mathematics is designed for students who already hold a master's degree and wish to pursue original research under academic supervision, culminating in a doctoral dissertation. Doctoral study in mathematics generally involves independent research within a chosen subfield such as algebra, analysis, topology, number theory, differential equations, probability, or applied and computational mathematics, combined with coursework, seminars, and close collaboration with supervising faculty. Candidates are expected to contribute original results to the field, present their work at academic conferences, and often publish in peer-reviewed journals over the course of their studies. The Doctoral School structure at the University of Szczecin situates mathematics research alongside other academic disciplines, giving doctoral candidates access to a broader research community while working within their specific field. Szczecin, located in northwestern Poland near the German border, is a city with an established higher education sector, and the University of Szczecin serves as one of its principal academic institutions. Graduates of doctoral programmes in mathematics typically pursue careers in academia as researchers and lecturers, as well as in research-intensive roles across industry, finance, data science, and government agencies that require advanced quantitative and analytical expertise. This English-taught doctoral track is intended to be accessible to international candidates seeking to pursue advanced mathematical research in Poland.
