Research doctorates

UNIFE Logo Unimore.png UNIPR

PhD in Mathematics is organized in close collaboration between the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science of the University of Ferrara, the Department of Physical, Computer and Mathematical Science  of University of Modena-Reggio Emilia and the Dipartment of Physical, Computer and Mathematical Sciences of the University of Parma, and has represented a consolidated reality at regional and national level since 2013.

The students of the doctoral programs benefit both from the training offer of the three universities in the various areas of mathematics and from the plurality of skills of the teaching staff. Through a widespread network of national and international contacts and the high qualification of its teaching staff, the program offers a high-level training path in each specific sector of mathematical sciences.

The main objective of this program is to train highly qualified professionals in the field of mathematics, equipped with advanced skills in mathematical models and methodologies, which can also be used in interdisciplinary application contexts. This is achieved through a series of lectures, seminars, participation in workshops and research periods at third-party institutions which, on the one hand, introduce doctoral students to the academic and non-academic research modality and, on the other, allow them to establish professional contacts which will accompany them in the years following graduation.

In parallel with the study periods, presentations at conferences and workshops of international importance are organized to help the doctoral student in his subsequent entry into the world of work. The training is therefore specifically geared towards the ability to recognize significant research problems in mathematics, formulate solutions to those problems, and transmit the results to others through presentations or publications.

Doctoral candidates, at the end of the programme, must be able to: carry out research independently, produce original and relevant results and enter the international scientific community. Graduates will possess the skills necessary not only to work in universities and research institutes, but also in industry, public administration and private commercial enterprises.
