Doctoral Program in Mathematics and Applications
The Doctoral Programme in Mathematics and Applications is designed to provide training in the Applications of Mathematics, it is oriented both to the academic career and to the labour market, providing students with various skills: the ability to design and develop original research, independently or in partnership, to have a critical view of knowledge and reality, to share knowledge with their peers or society in general.
Its objective is for students to acquire specific skills in the field of mathematics: development of techniques, languages and theoretical and/or computational tools suitable for problem solving, deepening of general techniques and autonomous approach to mathematical problems; innovative modelling and resolution of scientific phenomena, within the scope of Mathematics and its applications.
The cross-border cooperation, favoured by cultural affinity, brings together scientific skills from several prestigious institutions and research centres in Galicia-Northern Portugal creating a strong critical mass of professors and researchers, with internationally recognized merit in the various areas of Mathematics and its applications.
