The Department of Mathematics and Applications is involved in the PhD programme in Mathematics, which is a consortium doctorate, coordinated by the consortium University of Milano-Bicocca, University of Pavia and INdAM. The administrative headquarters is for three consecutive years at the University of Pavia and for a further three years at the University of Milano-Bicocca.

For all information on the Course and for contact details, go to the page dedicated to the PhD in Mathematics within the Single Doctoral School section of the University website.

In addition to research activities aimed at completing the thesis, the Board of Professors of the PhD programme gives great importance to expanding and consolidating the cultural bases of doctoral and post-doctoral students, in order to foster their scientific autonomy and stimulate their originality.

For this aim, a wide range of teaching activities is organised each year, both basic and advanced, as well as seminar activities and working groups.

A considerable part of this offer is included in the inter-doctoral activities, in collaboration with the PhD programmes in Mathematics at Pavia, the University of Milan and the Politecnico.

An important aspect of inter-doctoral work is the interaction between PhD students of various locations.
