Overview: This rigorous 3-year doctoral program in Applied Mathematics is designed to train students in the formulation, analysis, and solution of complex mathematical models that arise in various scientific, engineering, and industrial domains. Through a blend of coursework, seminars, and independent research, students will develop expertise in using mathematical techniques to address real-world challenges.

Course Objectives:

1. To provide deep knowledge in core areas of applied mathematics including partial differential equations, numerical analysis, optimization, and stochastic processes.
2. To develop students’ ability to apply advanced mathematical techniques to practical problems across a range of disciplines.
3. To foster critical thinking, analytical reasoning, and innovative research skills.
4. To prepare students for leadership roles in academia, industry, and research institutions where mathematical modeling and analysis are required.

Year 1:

• Foundational Coursework: Topics in Analysis, Linear Algebra, Computational Methods, and Mathematical Modeling.
• Research Seminars: Introduction to ongoing research in the department and exposure to current global trends in applied mathematics.
• Research Proposal: By the end of the first year, students will be expected to identify a research topic and mentor.

Year 2:

• Advanced Coursework: Specialized courses tailored to students’ research interests, potentially covering areas like Nonlinear Dynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Financial Mathematics, and more.
• Preliminary Research: Under the guidance of a mentor, students initiate their PhD research, aiming to address key questions in their chosen topic.
• Progress Seminars: Bi-annual presentations to the department on the status and direction of the research.

Year 3:

• Dissertation Research: Intense research period aiming to make significant contributions to the field.
• Dissertation Writing: Compilation and presentation of research findings in a formal doctoral thesis.
• Final Defense: A public presentation and defense of the research to the department and external examiners.

• Coursework exams and assignments
• Research proposal presentation
• Bi-annual progress seminars
• Written doctoral thesis
• Oral thesis defense

1. Master’s degree in a relevant field.
2. Proof of proficiency in English (for non-native speakers).
3. Letters of recommendation.
4. Statement of purpose detailing research interests and goals.
5. Admission Interview: All applicants will be required to attend an interview with the department’s admission panel. The successful completion of this interview is the most crucial criterion for admission. The interview assesses the applicant’s knowledge base, research interests, and alignment with the department’s objectives.
