It also counts with the collaboration of the Department of Mathematics, University of Beira Interior.
The programme includes a curricular year organized to allow the students to contact with an introduction to research before choosing the area of their PhD theses. It is supported by the research units CIDMA (Univ. Aveiro),CINTESIS (Univ. Porto), CMAT (Univ. Minho), CMUP, ISR-P and LIAAD (Univ. Porto), which guarantee the quality of the research that will be undertaken by the students during the years of preparation of their doctoral thesis. This involvement with the research centres also allows great flexibility of the curricular offering and research proposals, incorporating very diverse fields of Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics and also in the interface with other sciences. The faculty of the programme is decided in each academic year, according to demanding scientific criteria.
