Introduction
The Doctorate Program in Mathematics, associated with the "Campus Vida" of International Excellence of the USC, and with a quality mention obtained in 2008, has a long history at this University. The doctors trained in it created research groups that attended and successfully attend regional, national and European calls for funding and their publications achieved and continue to achieve levels of high quality and impact.
According to the 2014 ranking of the National Taiwan University, USC is number 57 in the world in mathematical research, 13 at the European level and the first in Spain, a position confirmed by the ranking of the University of Granada repeatedly. The Program covers all the fundamental branches of mathematics: algebra, analysis, geometry, topology and astronomy, which allows a wide range of training for students.
Lines of investigation
- Differential Equations and Functional Analysis
- Homological algebra and algebraic geometry
- astrodynamics
- Topology, global analysis, topological dynamics and applications
- Geometric analysis and isometric actions

Ideal Students
Students who come from the following master's degrees will be able to access the Doctoral Program without training supplements: University Master's Degree in Mathematics, University Master's Degree in Mathematical Engineering, University Master's Degree in Industrial Mathematics and University Master's Degree in Statistical Techniques, which form, were part of the USC academic offering.
Students with the DEA degree obtained through the USC Faculty of Mathematics Programs will also have access to the Program without training complements.
In the case of other universities, the degrees with direct access will be by analogy with those of the USC and/or by areas of knowledge whose subject matter is in accordance with the required prior training, the objectives and the lines of research assigned to the Doctoral Program. The Academic Committee of the Doctorate Program will be the body that decides on the direct or conditional admission of the applicant to passing certain training complements based on the documentation provided.

Program Outcome
The Mathematics Doctorate Program has a long history at this university. In 2008, the doctoral program obtained the quality mention. It is in the process of joining the USC "Campus Vida" of International Excellence. The trained doctors have created research groups that have successfully participated in regional, national and European funding calls.
His publications have reached levels of great quality and impact. According to the 2011 QS World University ranking, the University of Santiago is among the 200 best in the world and according to the University of Granada, it is the first in Spain and among the five best in Europe in research performance in the specialty of mathematics.
The program covers all the fundamental branches of mathematics: algebra, analysis, geometry, topology and astronomy, which allows a wide range of training for students.
