  • PROGRAMME INFORMATION

    The research postgraduate program in Applied Mathematics offers an interdisciplinary program of graduate study in applied mathematics leading to the Ph.D. degree. This program is designed to give students a thorough training in fundamental applied mathematics and to develop their research ability in a specific application field. The fields of application include a wide range of areas such as fluid mechanics, materials science, and mathematical biology, engineering applications, image processing, and mathematical finance. The training essential for future careers in applied mathematics in academia, national laboratories, or in industry is provided by completion of the requirements for a Ph.D. degree in applied mathematics.
