Conduct mathematics-based research and generate new knowledge in a multidisciplinary environment with the PhD in Applied Mathematics program.

At North America’s only dedicated Faculty of Mathematics and the #1 school in Canada for mathematics and computer science, you’ll connect theoretical advances and innovative mathematics to develop novel solutions to the pressing problems facing today’s world. 

Through a combination of coursework and original research, you’ll learn cutting-edge applications of mathematical theory in a broad range of fundamental and applied sciences, with five areas of research to choose from including control theory and dynamical systems, fluid mechanics, mathematical medicine and biology, mathematical physics, and scientific computation.

With the competitive edge provided by mentorship through the Faculty’s connections around the world, you’ll be prepared to pursue a career in academia, government or industry.

It is absolutely essential that the application for admission into the program contain evidence of potential for performing original research. This should be provided by successful completion of a Master's thesis in a mathematics-related discipline. In some circumstances a student enrolled in the MMath program (thesis) in applied mathematics may transfer to the PhD program without completing their MMath program. Applicants are also required to have a minimum grade point average of 78% or its equivalent.
