Further Information

Occupational Profiles of Graduates with Examples

Our graduates are often employed in financial and consulting firms, technology companies, and banks. In addition, holders of PhD in Mathematics are employed in the public sector, in high and demanding positions, as researchers/professors in research institutions / universities or as secondary school teachers. Furthermore, the PhD in Mathematics leads, in addition to the specialized knowledge, to the development of a wider range of competencies, critical thinking and organizational spirit, which allow graduates to work in areas that are not directly related to research projects in Mathematics.
