The Mathematical Science graduate program at Jacobs University Bremen offers the opportunity for graduate study in pure, applied and computational mathematics, as well as in mathematical physics. The program will lead to a PhD or MSc degree.
The initial part of the program involves a broad education in mathematical science, followed by a choice of advanced courses, seminars, and research activities leading to a dissertation. Graduate students at Jacobs University are viewed as professionals. From early on, they are integrated into the faculty’s international research collaborations, they routinely participate at international research conferences or in longer thematic research programs—a head start into a successful career in academia or industry.
This graduate program is part of an Integrated PhD program. Students who enter with a Master Degree will obtain their PhD after 3 years; those who enter with a Bachelor Degree usually finish with their PhD within 4-5 years. Alternatively, the latter have the chance to graduate with a Master after 2 years of study.
Our program is an integrated PhD program. We admit students with a Bachelor degree into the Masters phase of the program and students with a Masters degree into either the Masters phase of the program or directly into the PhD phase. Your application should state clearly which of the phases you wish to enter into.
* If you hold only a Bachelor degree or equivalent, the choice is clear.
* If you already hold the equivalent of a Masters degree and wish to enter the Masters phase of our program, your statement of purpose should clearly explain the reason (e.g. change of field, non-equivalence between the Masters in your country and the Masters degree at Jacobs).
* If you wish to enter the PhD phase of our program, you need to identify a member of the faculty with whom you wish to work. Unless you apply in response to a specific externally advertised PhD position, you will need to apply for funds in parallel (see below). Financial support from Jacobs University will only be granted in exceptional cases.
