Berlin Mathematical School (BMS) – Get Your Math PhD in Berlin
The application portal for the BMS PhD program is currently open!
The Berlin Mathematical School is the graduate school of the Cluster
of Excellence MATH+ (https://www.mathplus.de) and a joint endeavor of the mathematics departments at the universities in Berlin: Freie
Universität (FU), Humboldt-Universität (HU) and Technische Universität
(TU).
They offer an excellent doctoral program taught in English in a broad
and active research environment together with mentoring programs,
language courses, soft-skills seminars, funding for summer schools and
conferences, a buddy program and funding for students with children.
“Mathematics as a whole“ is a leading principle of the BMS. Its focus
encompasses fields that are traditionally termed “pure“ or “applied“
mathematics, though we prefer not to make that distinction. Instead,
research topics are grouped into eight parts, each covering a broad,
but coherent, part of mathematics:
- Area 1: Geometry and topology
- Area 2: Algebraic geometry and number theory
- Area 3: Stochastics and mathematical finance
- Area 4: Discrete mathematics and optimization
- Area 5: Discrete geometry
- Area 6: Numerical mathematics
- Area 7: Applied analysis
- Area 8: Mathematics for AI
For applicants with a Bachelor, Phase I offers a basic graduate phase
of 3-4 semesters completed by a qualifying exam. Phase II is the
research phase and open to candidates with a Master‘s degree. It lasts
4-6 semesters in which candidates conduct specialized research and
attend at least one advanced course per semester.
