The Berlin Mathematical School (BMS) is a joint graduate school of the mathematics departments of the three major Berlin universities, FU Berlin, TU Berlin and HU Berlin.

BMS offers:

• a uniform setting for graduate studies (from bachelor to PhD) in mathematics in Berlin,
• a coordinated, highly diverse course program in English (Phase I, from bachelor to qualifying exams in two years),
  German language skills are not necessary,
• access to all math research groups in Berlin for a PhD (Phase II), in particular, to the DFG Research Training Groups (Graduiertenkollegs) and other ongoing research projects,
• intensive mentoring during the whole duration of studies, and
• support in non mathematical issues ranging from housing to visas and from child care to language courses.

Depending on the individual background, admission is to Phase I (typically with a bachelor) or directly to Phase II (for example, for students holding a master/diploma).

For admission in 2017, applications will be accepted again from 15 September 2016.
Application deadline (scholarships available): 1 December 2016.
