Learning outcome

Methods of complex function theory.

Admission

PhD candidates from the University of Oslo should apply for classes and register for examinations through Studentweb.

If a course has limited intake capacity, priority will be given to PhD candidates who follow an individual education plan where this particular course is included. Some national researchers’ schools may have specific rules for ranking applicants for courses with limited intake capacity.

PhD candidates who have been admitted to another higher education institution must apply for a position as a visiting student within a given deadline.

Prerequisites

Formal prerequisite knowledge

None.

Recommended previous knowledge

MAT2400 – Real Analysis and MAT2410 – Introduction to Complex Analysis.

Overlapping courses

10 credits with MAT365.

10 credits with MAT4310.

*The information about overlaps is not complete. Contact the department for more information if necessary.

Teaching

4 hours of lectures/exercises per week.

Examination

Oral exam.

In addition, each phd student is expected to give a?one hour oral presentation on a topic of relevance (chosen in cooperation with the lecturer). The presentation has to be approved by the lecturer for the student to be admitted to the final exam.

Language of examination

Subjects taught in English will only offer the exam paper in English.

(These valid reasons has to be documented within given deadlines.)

Information about deferred and new examination (also called repeat examination) is found here

More information about examination at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences can be found here

Withdrawal from an examination

It is possible to take the exam up to 3 times. If you withdraw from the exam after the deadline or during the exam, this will be counted as an examination attempt.

Special examination arrangements

Application form, deadline and requirements for special examination arrangements.
