PhD Mathematics – NUST
Course Name: PhD Mathematics
Overview:
The main thrust areas in Mathematics are Differential Equations, Mathematical Physics, Analysis, Combinatory, Geometry, Optimization Theory, Symmetry Analysis and Computational Mathematics. MPhil coursework will be of 24 credit hours, followed by a thesis of 6 credit hours. The PhD programme will consist of 18 credit hours of coursework and 30 credit thesis. The course outline and contents will be declared individually for each student from their chosen research areas, as advised by their supervisor. There will also be seminar courses that must be cleared but will carry no credits.
Number of Semesters: 2
Requirements
1. For admission into the PhD minimum CGPA 3.0 out of 4.0 (in the Semester System) or First Division (in the Annual System) in M.Phil./M.S/Equivalent degree is required. Percentage will be valid only if the CGPA is not mentioned in degree/transcript.
2. For Basic Medical Sciences: MBBS and MPhil, or MBBS plus FCPS (Basic Medical Sciences/Clinical Subjects).
3. GRE Subject International (score ³ 60 percentile) or GAT Subject by NTS (score ³ 60 %) or local GRE subject type test (Score³70 %) conducted by NUST (as applicable) is required.
