Ph.D. in Mathematics At The BMS
The Ph.D. program at the BMS leads from a bachelor’s degree through an oral qualifying exam directly to a doctoral degree in four to five years.
Applicants who hold a bachelor degree, Vordiplom, or equivalent can enter the BMS Phase I, in which they complete seven BMS Phase I courses on a Master’s level within 3 to 4 semesters. For students who are further advanced, part of the Phase I course requirements may be waived. Supervisors will be allocated according to the areas of interest given in the application. For entering straight into Phase II to immediately start the Ph.D. project, applicants are expected to have a Master’s degree or equivalent, or must pass the BMS Qualifying Exams and meet the regular admission requirements of the Berlin universities' Ph.D. programs. Phase II applicants are expected to name a supervisor in their application.

Famous quotes containing the word mathematics:
“Why does man freeze to death trying to reach the North Pole? Why does man drive himself to suffer the steam and heat of the Amazon? Why does he stagger his mind with the mathematics of the sky? Once the question mark has arisen in the human brain the answer must be found, if it takes a hundred years. A thousand years.”
—Walter Reisch (1903–1963)
