The Department of Mathematics offers an international graduate program taught in English leading to M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Mathematics.

M. Sc. Program

Requirements

Applicants for admission to the M.Sc program are expected to hold a B.Sc degree or equivalent and have a mathematical preparation that is comparable to a B.Sc degree in mathematics from an Israeli university. In particular, applicants should be familiar with the material which is required for the four basic graduate classes in Algebra, Analysis, Geometry/Topology and Logic/Set Theory. Strong applicants with insufficient preparation may be admitted contingent upon the completion of supplementary coursework during the first year of the program.

Program details

During their studies in the M.Sc. program, students are required to complete at least 26 course units of coursework, and write a Master’s thesis. The course work must include:

  • At least two courses from the following list:
    • Advanced Analysis
    • Basic Concepts in Topology and Geometry
    • Noncommutative Algebra or Commutative and Homological Algebra
    • One course in Logic or Set Theory
  • At least two advanced seminars.

Course requirements may be waived when equivalent coursework has been completed elsewhere.

Application

Please apply via the University application procedure.

Financial aid is available for strong applicants.

Ph. D. Program

Requirements

Applicants for admission to the Ph.D program are expected to hold an M.Sc degree in Mathematics or equivalent degree with an academic preparation comparable to our M.Sc. Program graduates (see below).

Program details

Students are prepared for a career in mathematical research or mathematically intensive fields. Normal time for completion of the program, including a research dissertation, is four years.
