The degree aims to provide a broad and solid training in Mathematics, as it contains a wide range of research topics that cover many relevant areas of mathematics, as well as its applications to Physics, Biology, Medicine, Computing, Ecology, Biotechnology, Economics …

The PhD Program in Mathematics, associated with the "Campus Vida" of International Excellence of the USC, and with a quality mention obtained in 2008, has a long history at this University. The doctors trained in it created research groups that successfully competed in regional, national and European calls for funding and their publications achieved and continue to achieve levels of high quality and impact.

At present, with the rapid evolution of engineering and applied sciences, the need to train specialists in modeling and numerical simulation of processes from the industrial or business field is evident, so that, in these fields, promote from the University the transfer of knowledge and the incorporation of doctors to the R+D+i departments, with training aimed at optimizing processes, reducing costs, improving product quality, designing new technologies, increasing safety, reducing environmental pollution, etc.
