This doctorate study program is an advanced, 100% research-based academic pathway designed for scholars, academic leaders, and experienced educators who seek to generate original knowledge in the field of mathematics and its learning. Positioned at a level equal to EQF Level 8 and aligned with the third European cycle of higher education, the program emphasizes rigorous inquiry, theoretical depth, and meaningful contribution to the advancement of mathematics education.

The Doctorate in Mathematics and its Learning is structured around seven comprehensive modules. Four modules are dedicated to advanced research competencies, including research design, quantitative and qualitative methodologies, academic publishing, and scholarly impact. Two general modules strengthen interdisciplinary perspectives, leadership in academic environments, and critical analysis at the highest scholarly level. One specialized module focuses specifically on mathematics and its learning, addressing advanced mathematical thinking, cognitive processes in problem-solving, curriculum theory, assessment models, digital transformation in mathematics education, and inclusive pedagogical frameworks.

These modules are complemented by extensive thesis and research activities, enabling candidates to investigate complex and contemporary challenges such as mathematical cognition, innovation in STEM education, policy development in mathematics curricula, technology-enhanced learning environments, and data-driven instructional strategies. The program encourages independent scholarship, analytical precision, and the development of frameworks that influence both academic research and educational practice.

With a minimum duration of 18 months and a flexible structure that allows candidates to extend their study period according to their professional and research commitments, the program is tailored for those balancing academic advancement with leadership roles in education, research institutions, or policy environments.
