The Berlin Mathematical School (BMS) is a joint graduate school of the Berlin universities: the Free University of Berlin (FU Berlin), the Technical University of Berlin (TU Berlin) and the Humboldt University of Berlin (HU Berlin). It was founded in June 2006 and in October 2006 it was recognized as a graduate school in the first round of the Excellence Initiative by the federal and state governments. In 2012, BMS was also included in the second program phase of the Excellence Initiative. On June 15, 2012, the BMS was also included in the second funding period of the Excellence Initiative. The BMS combines an innovative concept with a teaching program that is tailored directly to the needs of the students. The BMS is led by Holger Reich (FU Berlin), Jürg Kramer (HU Berlin) and John M. Sullivan (TU Berlin).
vision
The BMS has set itself the goal of bringing together Berlin researchers and students from various fields of mathematics and bringing international scientists and doctoral candidates to Berlin.
In addition to striving for scientific excellence, the BMS pursues the following goals: internationality, diversity and equal opportunities for women and men. The BMS offers students and scientists excellent research conditions in a liberal working atmosphere. For the future, BMS aims to have 50% women.
The broad spectrum of mathematics encompasses many areas that are traditionally divided into “pure” or “applied” mathematics. The Berlin Mathematical School does not make this distinction, but has divided the research areas into seven groups, each of which represents a broad but coherent part of mathematics.
Cooperations
BMS students can use Berlin’s diverse mathematics research landscape in a wide variety of ways for their training. You have access to seminars, workshops and lectures in English at the Berlin universities (FU Berlin, HU Berlin and TU Berlin) as well as to events that take place at the cooperation partners of BMS. In addition to the mathematical institutes of the three universities, this includes three graduate colleges , two international Max Planck Research Schools , the DFG Research Center Matheon , the Collaborative Research Center “Space - Time - Matter”, the Collaborative Research Center “Discretization in Geometry and Dynamics” and “Scale Cascades in Complex Systems “, The Zuse Institute Berlin (ZIB), the Weierstrass Institute for Applied Analysis and Stochastics (WIAS) and the Einstein Center Mathematics (ECMath).
PhD in Mathematics
The doctoral program at BMS leads students to a doctorate in four to five years.
With a bachelor's degree in mathematics or a comparable degree, you can apply directly for BMS Phase I. In this way, students complete courses at Master’s level within 3 to 4 semesters. After passing the so-called qualifying exam, you move on to the BMS phase II, the dissertation phase.
To apply directly for the BMS Phase II, students must have a master's degree in mathematics or a comparable degree. You then start straight away with your actual doctoral project. These applicants are expected to already have a clear idea of the topic of their dissertation when they apply.
BMS Fridays
BMS Friday is a colloquium that takes place every second Friday during the lecture period in the BMS Loft in Urania. The BMS invites national and international mathematicians to present their research areas. BMS Fridays include "What is ...?" Seminars and "Tea & Cookies" before each lecture.
