  • The Doctoral Studies “Statistics and Optimisation” started being taught within the frame of the Royal Decree 778/1998 and obtained a Quality Mention. The doctoral programme has been followed up within the framework of the Royal Decree 1393/2007 and has obtained the Mention towards the Excellence for the academic years from 2011-2012 to 2013-2014. The existence of a doctoral programme in Statistics and Optimisation was mainly prompted by the social need of the incorporation of well educated professionals with research competencies to develop new methods and adapt those existing to novel environments in companies, researching centres and public institutions. The increasing demand in the use of each time more sophisticated methods, particularly in fields such as science, economy, industry, and administration, demands from the university the training of experienced doctors able to interacting in multidisciplinary fields.
  • Specific admission requirements

    ENTRY REQUIREMENTS:
    As general entry requirement they should be contemplated in some of the presumptions of the article 6 of the RD 99/2011 or of the second additional provision of such Royal Decree.
    ENTRY REQUIREMENTS/CRITERIA:
    As specific requirement:
    a) Students should have taken some of the university master degrees of the University of Valencia detailed in the section 3.1. In the event of holding the Diploma d'Estudis Avançats (DEA-a tertiary education degree)- obtained according to the Royal Decree 778/98– or the Research Proficiency- according to the regulations of the Royal Decree 185/85– , they must have been completed within Doctoral Programmes related to this.
    b) Also, the students who have taken other Master’s Degree studies different to the ones mentioned above can be admitted, whenever they are Master’s degree related to these or to the research lines of the doctoral studies.
    c) The accreditation of the carrying out od a research work of at least 6 credits in thematic related to the ones od the Master’s Degree associated with the doctoral programme will be required. For this, it is recommended to include within the pre-enrolment documentation a summary of the research work (of a page as maximum) 

     

    The students who fulfil the aforementioned requirements will enter the doctoral programme, being the Joint Academic Committee of the doctoral programme the one responsible for verifying the fulfilment of the aforementioned requirements for the admission of Doctoral students.

  • This is a joint doctorate degree of the Universitat Politècnica de València and the Universitat de València. The students to which this program is targeted are graduates in Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, any other Experimental Sciences and any Superior Engineering. It aspires to become a referent for the training of future Mathematics researchers in the Valencian Community. The recommended student profiles are post-graduates having the Master’s degree in Mathematics Research (UV-UPV).

     

    This programme has its precedent in the Official Post-graduate Programme in Mathematics (adapted to the RD 56/2005 of 21 January, which regulates post-graduate official university studies). It included a Master’s and a Doctoral degree, and was distinguished with the Quality Mention of the Ministry of Education and Science, which was renewed from the 2008/2009 to the 2010/2011 academic years. This post-graduate programme was created by merging the 3rd Cycle Mathematics Interdepartmental Programme of the la Universitat de València (with the collaboration of the departments of Algebra, Mathematical Analysis, Geometry and Topology, and Applied Mathematics) and the doctoral programme of Multidisciplinary Mathematics of the Universitat Politècnica de València (with the academic structure responsible of the Department of Applied Mathematics), both courses having a special mention. The Doctoral Programme in Mathematics has been awarded the Mention of Excellency of the Ministry of Education for the 2011-2012, 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 courses. Only 14 doctoral degrees in mathematics in Spain have received this mention (Resolution 6th October 2011, of the General Secretary of Universities, BOE 20th October 2011).

  • Specific admission requirements

    The Specific Entry Requirements to the Doctoral Programme in Mathematics are the following:
    -The admission of students to the Doctoral Programme in Mathematics will be carried out by the Academic Committee, appointed for that purpose. All those students who have completed the credits corresponding to the Inter-University Master’s Degree INVESMAT and defended their Master’s Degree final Project can take these Doctoral Studies. Likewise, all those students who are holders of a Diploma d’Estudis Avançats (A tertiary education degree) obtained by the doctoral programmes of the Royal Decree 778/1998 “Cross-disciplinary Mathematics” of the Department of Applied Mathematics of the UPV and the “Inter-department Doctoral Programme” of the Faculty of Mathematics of the UV.
    -Those students who have completed a number of credits equivalent to the Master’s Degree INVESMAT in other Master’s Degrees, both from Spain and abroad which are within the field of Mathematics or that come from other Doctoral Programmes both national (Royal Decree 778/1998) and foreign countries, always that the Doctoral Studies Academic Committee will issue a favourable report. Such Academic Committee will require the information necessary of the students about their knowledge and they will make a proposal on the admission conditions of the students, establishing if necessary the tutelage that consider academically appropiate.
