About Mathematical Sciences, PhD - at Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU)

The PhD programme in the Department of Mathematical Sciences is a strategic research collaboration between XJTLU and the University of Liverpool, and is based at XJTLU. Upon successful completion of your programme you will receive a degree from the University of Liverpool, which is recognised by the UK's Department of Education as well as China's Ministry of Education.
