Other requirements

General requirements

  • Curriculum Vitae
  • Official transcripts from your master's degree.
  • Statement of research interests (maximum 2 pages). This should not be a research proposal, but rather a statement of the applicant’s interests and the level of knowledge in the area of interest.  
  • Names of three potential advisors. The applicant should emphasize in the statement of research interests how the proposed research relates to the suggested potential advisors. (This proposal is not binding and, if accepted, the student may work with other faculty members). 
  • Two or more recommendation letters. The recommenders should submit their letters directly to math.gradschool@mail.huji.ac.il (as opposed to sending them to the applicant for submission), with the subject line "Recommendation Letter for Last Name, First Name." Applicants are encouraged to solicit letters from researchers who have had prior interaction with our department.
