Application Requirements
A complete application for the Ph.D. program in Mathematics includes the following:

- An online application form submitted through the university portal.
- All applicants must demonstrate English proficiency under the School of Science and Engineering's requirements. Accepted tests include TOEFL iBT, IELTS Academic, and the Duolingo English Test. Applicants who meet SSE's prior-education exemption criteria do not need to submit test scores. English-medium instruction alone does not establish eligibility for this exemption. See the SSE admissions page for current minimum scores and exemption criteria.
- Optional: You are encouraged to submit any additional materials (CV, research papers, etc.) that may strengthen your application directly to the Director of Graduate Admission.
- The GRE Test is not required for admission to any of our graduate programs.
