• Mathematical education

Why choose this programme?

We're seeking enthusiastic research students who are eager to shape the future of mathematical sciences and have a positive impact to the world. Our research projects encompass a wide range, from developing innovative mathematical models to utilizing mathematical sciences for creating sustainable materials and advancing healthcare. Join us and contribute to making a difference in the world through your passion for research.

Our research activities revolve around three captivating research themes, encompassing both traditional areas and emerging, multidisciplinary challenges:

Data-driven modelling and computation

Teaching and learning in mathematics higher education, algebra and cryptography, course content.

Throughout your PhD you will focus on learning what information is already published and identifying gaps in knowledge. You will start to formulate your own research questions and develop skills to become a professional researcher.

• Study the research literature in your field, guided by your PhD advisor.
