博士学位
The Department of Mathematics offers a broad spectrum of research areas for doctoral students ranging from pure mathematics, such as algebra, analysis, geometry, number theory or probability, to more applied mathematics, such as insurance mathematics, finance, mathematical physics, numerical analysis, operations research and statistics (Research).
Owing to its excellent international reputation, the Department of Mathematics provides the best possible start for a career in academic or industrial research. A doctoral degree generally takes from three to five years to complete.

Teaching activities
Passing on knowledge to future mathematicians, other scientists and engineers is a key part of doing doctoral studies at ETH Zurich.
The teaching workload depends on the doctoral student's salary level.
Teaching generally comprises:
- teaching exercise classes
- 或者ganizing exercises for a lecture
- assisting in student seminars
- interacting with the lecturer and/or teaching assistants (undergraduate students)
- 为lec提供援助tures ranging from basic mathematics for biologists to advanced lectures for mathematicians
- coordinating and correcting exams
Additional courses
Research lives from acquiring knowledge about current theory and discussing it with experts.During the regular doctoral studies, at least 12 ECTS credits must be acquired to cover the following objectives:
- Deepening of knowledge in the research field of the doctoral thesis and expansion of knowledge beyond the original discipline
- Acquisition of transferable skills
- Integration into the scientific community
