Training

Highly individualized training fitting to the needs of the doctoral candidate and the research project:

The Doctoral Programme provides a supportive and challenging environment for the education and training of doctoral candidates: excellent research setting and training, as well as training in transferable skills to improve future graduates’ employability (communication, project management, teaching, etc.).
Doctoral candidates are trained to perform cutting-edge research in Mathematics at an internationally recognized level.
The professional development of doctoral candidates is fostered, by learning to think independently, considering problems critically, and to conduct rigorous analyses.
It is essential for doctoral candidates to learn important theories and techniques and to gain knowledge on the state of current research. Worldwide events and courses are offered: summer/winter/autumn/spring schools, block courses and online courses.
Partnerships and collaboration between universities are also promoted (Doctoral Away Days, conferences).
Scientific talks and lectures are a very important mean to obtain a broader horizon on mathematical research. The Doctoral Programmeoffers lots of seminars, talks every month.

Admissions

Are you eligible to start the admission process in this Doctoral Programme?

You are eligible to apply for admission to doctoral studies at the University of Luxembourg if you hold a Master’s degree or equivalent, as defined in the law.

The matching of a doctoral candidate, the supervisor and the research group is crucial for the success.

Any doctoral candidate works in close collaboration with her/his supervisor, who closely follows and advices the doctoral candidate all along the three to four years of the doctoral degree, integrates her/him into an active research group and facilitates contacts with researchers all over the world.

Students who hold a Master’s degree in Mathematics or a related subject and wish to pursue with a doctoral degree are invited to find a potential supervisor or a potential research group. They should establish the contact and enquire for opportunities. They can also browse the current offer of employments for doctoral candidates.
