Doctor of Philosophy - Mathematical Sciences

Doctor of Philosophy (Mathematical Sciences) is designed for students to develop higher level research skills in mathematical sciences and its application through undertaking a program of independent supervised study. Students are expected to produce significant and original research outcomes in one or more disciplinary areas of mathematical sciences, including applied mathematics, statistics, mathematical analysis, numerical and computational mathematics.

Curtin is widely recognised for applied research firmly focused on solving real-world problems. Underpinning our research endeavours are strong partnerships with industry, business and government, which result in outcomes that greatly benefit the broader community locally, nationally and globally. Our international reputation for being a strong partner in industry-driven research ensures our graduates enjoy outstanding opportunities to become innovators in their fields.

• demonstrate expert understanding of theoretical knowledge in Mathematical Sciences and reflect critically on that knowledge and its application.
• think critically by investigating, analysing, and synthesising complex information, problems, concepts, and theories, undertake systematic investigation and reflect on theory and practice to generate original knowledge.
• communicate and present a coherent and sustained argument and to disseminate research concepts, plans and results to the general community, peers, and the national and international research community.
• present a complex investigation of originality or original research for external examination against international standards.
• understand the global and cultural issues related to their original research and how these issues impact on the advancement of Mathematical Sciences.
• design, implement, analyse, theorise, and communicate research that makes a significant and original contribution to knowledge and/or professional practice.
