Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Mathematics

University of Saskatchewan

Mathematics plays a fundamental role in the natural sciences, engineering, and social sciences and continues to be in demand globally as we live in an increasingly technologically-driven society. It has a long tradition of being investigated for its own sake and beauty-at the same time, advances in mathematics have gone hand in hand with impressive leaps forward in technology. Modern examples of these technologies include computers, smartphones, and medical imaging devices. Mathematics significantly impacts other areas. It used to justify or verify key conclusions and findings in the social sciences and humanities, or used in the process of creating art.By pursuing a Master of Mathematics (MMath), Master of Science (MSc) or Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Mathematics at the University of Saskatchewan (USask), your graduate training in mathematics studies will give you access to outstanding career outcomes across multiple sectors.The MMath program requires the completion of a project that investigates mathematical ideas beyond the usual undergraduate curriculum but which is less intensive than a full thesis or dissertation that is based around original research. The MSc and PhD programs require the completion of theses or dissertations that report upon original research efforts. The PhD thesis in particular should make an original research contribution to one or more areas within the mathematical sciences.
