MSc program
Admissions:
Admission is decided on a case-by-case basis, based on academic background. Applications may be submitted twice a year. As a rule, Applicants should:
- Earn a cumulative average grade of 85 for their bachelor’s degree studies. Average grades between 80-85 will be discussed in the Graduate Studies Committee.
- Complete the course “Real-valued functions” (number 104165) or an equivalent course at other institutions.
- Complete four out of the seven following courses (or equivalent courses at other institutions):
|
COURSE NUMBER |
COURSE NAME |
| 104030 | Introduction to Partial Differential Equations |
| 104283 | Numerical Analysis 1 |
| 104276 | Introduction to Functional Analysis |
| 104177 | Differential Geometry |
| 104144 | Topology |
| 104280 | Modules, Classes and Fields |
| 104274 | Field theory |
* Applicants who do not meet these criteria should contact our graduate coordinator & their application will be discussed in the Graduate Studies Committee.
Program Structure:
Students may choose either a research thesis or a non-research-final paper track. The latter consists of an interpretation of a specific topic based on a survey of the current literature. In addition,
- Students holding a three-year bachelor’s degree should complete 55 credit points during their M.Sc. studies in both the final paper and the thesis track.
- Students holding a four-year bachelor’s degree should complete 36 credit points during their M.Sc. studies in both the final paper and the thesis track.
- The thesis is equivalent to 20 credit points and the final paper is equivalent to 12 credit points.
- Students holding an undergraduate degree other than Mathematics are required to complete a higher number of credit points.
- The total number of credit points for the M.Sc. degree coming from coursework is given by the following table:
| Duration of the undergraduate degree | The thesis route | The final paper route |
| 3 years | 35 points | 43 points |
| 4 years | 16 points | 24 points |
Distribution of Courses:
In the first three semesters of a student’s M.Sc. studies,, the student should choose two out of the three following fields: Algebra, Geometry-Topology and Analysis, and to study the required courses in these fields as listed below:
- Algebra: Modern Algebra 1 (106380), Modern Algebra 2 (106381).
- Geometry-Topology: Algebraic Topology (106383), Differentiable Manifolds (106723(.
- Analysis: Functional Analysis (106942), Partial Differential Equations (106413).

PhD program
Admissions
Candidates with a master’s degree who studied at Technion or an accredited academic institution in Israel or abroad, whose average grades and the grade on the thesis paper are not lower than an 80, may apply.
Study requirements
Ph.D. studies last between three to four years and usually require being full time at Technion. Students devote their time mainly to research, participate in advanced seminars, and take courses according to a personal program. Students are required to submit a research proposal within eleven months and to pass a candidacy exam a month after that. During the candidacy exam, they will need to demonstrate their ability to conduct independent and original research on the research topic they have chosen. In the final year of their studies, students are required to present their work in a departmental seminar, submit their research Thesis, and pass a final oral exam. In addition, 10 credit points from coursework should be completed.
