Berlin Mathematical School (BMS) – Get Your Math PhD in Berlin

The Berlin Mathematical School is the joint graduate school of the mathematics departments at the three major universities in Berlin:


FreieUniversitätHumboldt-Universität and TechnischeUniversität.


The School offers an excellent (post)graduate program taught in English in a broad and active research environment. This is complemented by the mentoring program, language courses, soft-skills seminars, travel support for summer schools and conferences, and special funding for students with children.



Seven main research areas are:

  • Differential geometry, global analysis and mathematical physics
  • Algebraic and arithmetic geometry, number theory
  • Probability, statistics and financial mathematics
  • Discrete mathematics and combinatorial optimization
  • Geometry, topology and visualization
  • Numerical mathematics and scientific computing
  • Applied analysis and differential equations

The graduate program starts with three to four semesters of course work (Phase I) leading to a master’s degree. This is followed by four to six semesters of thesis research (Phase II) leading to a doctoral degree at one of the three universities.

Students who will have completed their bachelor’s degree by October 2015 can apply to Phase I; those who will have completed their master’s degree by this date can apply to start directly in Phase II.
