A doctoral programme is four years long and results in a doctoral degree, which is the highest academic degree in Sweden.

The programme provides the competence to conduct research independently, a deep understanding of the subject area and the skills to communicate knowledge and create conditions for others to learn. After graduation, there are opportunities to continue research and teaching for a further career in academia.

At the Department of Mathematics there are three doctoral programmes, in mathematics, mathematical statistics, and computational mathematics.
