| Entry qualification | Master's diploma – Master’s degree in mathematics or computer science; For studies in English: At least B2 level knowledge of the English language. The entry qualification documents are accepted in the following languages: English / German / Russian / Latvian. Often you can get a suitable transcript from your school. If this is not the case, you will need official translations along with verified copies of the original. Please provide bachelor’s and master’s diploma (for doctoral studies) in the original language. If the diploma is not issued in English, Russian or German, you should provide a certified translation. The document must be legalised (usually done by Ministry of Education or Ministry of Foreign Affairs of your country). Legalisation is a Certification of Document Authenticity: certification of document authenticity (legalisation) means verification of signature and seal of a document. Traditionally it is performed by a Consular Officer so that documents drawn up in one country would be legally valid in another one. If a document is issued in a foreign country which has concluded bilateral agreement with Latvia (Belarus, Kirghizstan, Russia, Moldova, Ukraine, Uzbekistan) – these countries don’t need legalisation of documents, it enough if they have Official State Seal. You must take the original entry qualification documents along with you when you finally go to the university. You must take the original entry qualification documents along with you when you finally go to the university. Legalisation is a Certification of Document Authenticity: certification of document authenticity (legalisation) means verification of signature and seal of a document. Traditionally it is performed by a Consular Officer so that documents drawn up in one country would be legally valid in another one. 1. If a document is issued in the European Union, the member states of the European Economic Zone, the Swiss Confederation and in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (except overseas territories), it does not required any additional authentications (legalisation or Apostille) for their use in Latvia. 2. If a document is issued in a foreign country which has joined the Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Documents of 5 October 1961, its authenticity must be certified with an Apostille by the competent institution of the relevant country, and the document is valid for submission to Latvia’s institutions without any other certification. 3. If a document is issued in a foreign country which has not joined the Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Documents of 5 October 1961, it must be by diplomatic/consular mission of Latvia in the relevant country or by the Consular Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Latvia, after their authentications by the competent institutions of the relevant country (the foreign ministry or a diplomatic/consular mission of the relevant country). 4. If a document is issued in a foreign country which has concluded bilateral agreement with Latvia (Belarus, Kirghizstan, Russia, Moldova, Ukraine, Uzbekistan) – these countries don’t need legalisation of documents, it is enough if they have Official State Seal. Please, read more about legalisation on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Latvia. |

Overview
Goal of the study programme
Preparation of a highly qualified specialist – a mathematical scientist who is able to solve practical and theoretical tasks with the methods of theoretical mathematics and mathematical modelling.
Tasks of the study programme are:
1) to acquire the necessary amount of theoretical knowledge in the field of theoretical mathematics and mathematical modelling;
2) to determine the topic of scientific research, learn the results, provided in the scientific literature on this topic;3) to obtain new essential results on the selected topic;
4) presenting reports in conferences of regional and international level;
5) to publish the obtained results in publications of various levels, also in scientific journals and collections indexable in international databases;
6) preparation of graduation work for defence.
As a result of the programme’s acquisition, the graduate will acquire and be able to demonstrate:
Knowledge:
Understand the topical scientific theories and modern mathematical research methods in the subfield of differential equations.
Are familiar with the organization of regional and international scientific research and the ways of improving one’s qualifications.
Skills:
-Able to independently evaluate and choose suitable scientific research methods, contribute to expanding the frontier of knowledge or provide a new understanding of existing knowledge and its application in practice, including by publishing scientific publications (knows how to choose publication forms and methods for timely and effective implementation of the results of scientific work).
-Able to communicate both orally and in writing about own scientific field to the wider community of scientists and society in general.
-Able to independently improve own scientific qualification, implement scientific projects, obtaining international science-qualifying achievements.
Competence:
-Carrying out independent, critical analysis, synthesis and evaluation, are able to solve important research or innovation tasks using mathematical modelling methods.
-Are competent to propose the research idea, plan and structure independently, as well as defend idea in discussions without losing the ability to critically perceive other opinions.
-Are able to manage scientific projects, including in an international context, aware of their responsibility and moral obligations to involved organizations and individual researchers.
Doctoral students have possibilities:
-to publish the results of their research in local periodical publications, scientific journals of Baltic region, internationally reviewed journals that are included in acknowledged data bases (Web of Science, Scopus and the like);
-to participate in annual international scientific conferences at Daugavpils University (DU) and University of Latvia (UL), Mathematical Modeling and Analysis international conferences (in Baltic region), as well as in serial conferences of European and the world scale (Equadiff, AIMS (American Institute of Mathematical Studies), etc.);
-to become members of Latvian Mathematical Society and members of other professional associations;
-to participate in the implementation of European and international research projects and programmes;
-receive a scholarship when studying with budget funds.
