University graduates with Master degree in mathematics or physics (or equivalent) are very welcome to apply for a 3-year postgraduate study to attain a Kandidat nauk degree at our Department. Kandidat nauk (Russian for "candidate of science") is a degree equivalent to Western PhD in mathematics, but with slightly higher requirements for the PhD thesis (the scientific results are usually required to be published in peer reviewed journals before, not after, submitting a thesis).

For more information about perspective study programmes please find and contact the potential advisor among our staff members (usually this should be a person whose scientific interests match your own), or department's scientific secretary Dr. Taras Panov.
