A doctorate in mathematics can be completed as part of a doctoral program in natural sciences.
The aim of the doctoral program in Natural Sciences is to impart the ability to carry out independent scientific work in addition to academic professional training and to lead students to the forefront of current research in one of the specialist areas of competence of the Faculty of Natural Sciences at the University of Graz by independently achieving new findings. The doctoral program thus serves to train young scientists in the field of natural sciences.

In this context, the Doctoral School of Mathematics and Scientific Computing should also be mentioned; a scientific project set up with Graz University of Technology to create a common framework for the joint supervision of doctoral students.

A doctorate in the field of mathematics teaching can be completed as part of an inter-faculty doctoral program in subject didactics.

The inter-faculty doctoral program in subject didactics enables students to deal scientifically with subject didactic issues in educational institutions (schools, universities, further education centers, etc.). The subject matter is the teaching and learning processes of different subject areas, taking into account cultural, social, societal and individual contexts and influences. In their dissertation, doctoral students undertake to independently tackle new scientific questions. They broaden and deepen their theoretical knowledge and their methodological and interdisciplinary skills.

Further information can be found on the website of the interfaculty doctoral program in Didactics.
