TopMath: Applied Mathematics with Integrated Doctoral Program

TopMath is an elite graduate program of the Elite Network of Bavaria(ENB) Pfeil offered for outstanding students allowing them to receive a doctoral degree in Mathematics (Dr.rer.nat. - equals PhD) after a total of 6 years of study at university. This is accomplished by:

Excellent Study Conditions

  • individual supervision by a professor as a personal mentor
  • early introduction to current research topics
  • "Independent Studies", which allow students to specialize in their individual field of interest.
  • studies together with outstanding young researchers
  • attendance of international workshops and conferences, which is supported by the program
  • Attractive Additional Offers

  • Access to interdisciplinary seminars of the Elite Network of Bavaria and its co-operation partners
  • Comprehensive selection program-intern workshops, seminars, events, etc.
  • Preparation for leadership positions in research and economy
  • TopMath is directed towards the best national and international students of applied mathematics with pronounced interest in research and the desire to pursue their mathematical goals autonomously. Students are expected to have:

  • extraordinary performance in a mathematical study program (including Mathematics in Finance and Actuarial Science, Mathematics in Science and Engineering (Technomathematik), etc.)
  • capabilities and motivation above average
  • ability to independently acquire mathematical content
  • mathematical creativity
  • Enrollment for the TopMath program is possible at TUM or at University Augsburg Pfeil (see Cooperation agreement).

    TopMath closely collaborates with the following programs of Elite Network of Bavaria:

  • Elite graduate program "Finance and Information Management (FIM)" Pfeil,
  • Elite graduate program "Theoretical and Mathematical Physics (TMP)" Pfeil,
  • Interdisciplinary and Internationalen Doktorate Program "Quantum Computing, Control and Communication (QCCC)" Pfeil,
  • "Bavarian Graduate School of Computational Engineering (BGCE)" Pfeil.
  • TopMath started in winter term 2004/2005. The program was extended in 2008 after a successful review by an international brain trust.

    By now the TopMath-doctorate program is integrated into TUM Graduate School, short TUM GS, as a doctorate program of the Elite Network of Bavaria.
