The PhD Program in Mathematics is jointly organized by the Department of Mathematics of the University of Coimbra and the Department of Mathematics of the University of Porto, reinforcing the central role these two institutions have played in the Portuguese mathematical education system. The research units associated to these departments, Centre for Mathematics of the University of Coimbra and Centre for Mathematics of the University of Porto, have both received the highest classifications from the international evaluation panels on recent years.
