(PhD Mathematics) Home | Program | Faculty | PhD Students
The program is structured in three years and it includes disciplinary activities (courses, workshops, seminars, conferences, schools), interdisciplinary activities (courses, seminars) and research activity.
Each PhD student is required to acquire 60 credits (CFU) per year.
At least 20 credits should be earned through PhD courses: at least 16 credits through disciplinary courses, and at least 4 credits through interdisciplinary courses.
Courses should be attended preferably during the first year. At least 40 credits should be earned through disciplinary activities during the first year. At least 40 (resp.50) credits should be earned through research activities during the second (resp. third) year.
At the beginning of each year the PhD-student writes a plan of activities with her/his Tutor or thesis Supervisor. At the end of each year he/she writes the annual activities report. The forms are below.

Parma University established agreements with Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Belgium) and with Universidade do Minho (Portugual) to realize collaborations between our PhD Course in Mathematics and the PhD program in Engineering Science at Katholieke Universiteit Leuwen, the PhD program in Mathematics at Universidade do Minho.
Each agreement states that the PhD students of either institution who will spend sufficient time the host institution, actively pursuing a research project agreed by both parties and who fulfill requirements for a PhD degree at both institutions will obtain a PhD title from each University. Therefore, students will be awarded a double PhD title.
Here below avalilable the agreement between Parma University and Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. The agreement Parma-Minho is in preparation, will be posted soon.
