Entrance Exam For PhD Program

Exam Overview

All applicants for admission to the PhD program are required to sit a written entrance exam. The grades obtained in the exam, alongside other criteria, are utilized to determine candidates’ suitability for admission to the program.

Exam Objectives

The exam is designed to evaluate candidates’ knowledge of a range of fundamental concepts across various areas of mathematics. It assesses candidates’ problem-solving skills and their use of logical reasoning. The exam also measures candidates’ analytical and scientific research abilities.

Examination Format

The written entrance exam is held once an academic year and is timed to be compatible with the admission timetable for the Deanship of Postgraduate Studies. The exam normally takes place once the candidate has met the program’s essential admission requirements. The entrance exam for the PhD program covers concepts and knowledge drawn from various mathematical specializations. The exam is made up of six questions, and students must choose three, in line with their precise major (Algebra, Analysis, Differential Equations, Applied Mathematics, Numerical Analysis and Topology).

Evaluation

Students will be assessed and admitted to the program on the basis of the score they achieve in the exam, and other admission criteria noted on the PhD degree webpage. Students who score highly in the exam, and meet the postgraduate admission criteria, will be nominated for acceptance onto the PhD program in Mathematics.
