PhD Scholarships in Mathematics in Industry and Commerce
Written by Administrator
Sunday, 29 January 2006
The programme has a duration of 36 months supplemented by a two months
preparatory German language course in the beginning. The programme is
entirely in English.
For 20 months the PhD student does research at the University of
Kaiserslautern and another 9 months at or for a company. The topic of
the PhD thesis is fixed in cooperation with a company, either directly
by the student or with the help of "Fraunhofer-Institute for Industrial
Mathematics (ITWM)", the supervisor at the home university and the
co-supervisor at the University of Kaiserslautern. Students apply
modern mathematical theories (partial differential equations,
stochastics, etc.) to model technological, economic and ecological
problems. Computer-oriented numerical methods (FEM, optimization,
statistics, etc.) are used to evaluate the models. The last 7 months
are used to complete the research and the thesis at the home
university. After successful completion of the programme, the student
receives a PhD degree from his/her home university.
This programme is suited for mathematicians, physicists and
engineers with a strong background in mathematics. The programme starts
in October and is preceded by a German language course of 2 months
duration, beginning in August. Application deadline is January 30, at
the University of Kaiserslautern.
Entry requirement:
Degree (equivalent to a M.Sc.) in mathematics, physics or
engineering after studies of at least 4 years duration; Quality of the
degree at least Second Class (Upper Division) or equivalent;
Admittance as PhD student at the home university;
Supervisor for a PhD thesis at the home university;
English - TOEFL (540 points) or IELTS (band 6) -certificate;
Age limit: 36
Applications have to be submitted in English.
This programme is supported by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and German companies through 7 to 9 scholarships annually. The scholarships are awarded to candidates from qualifying countries. Additional scholarships are provided by the Fraunhofer-Institute for Industrial Mathematics.
