The program gives a comprehensive knowledge of several areas in mathematics and introduces the students to doing research in theoretical and/or applied mathematics. Besides purely theoretical courses, many courses are application-oriented. Courses are offered in algebra, number theory, real and complex analysis, topology, geometry, probability theory and statistics, discrete mathematics and operations research but also in such interdisciplinary subjects as bioinformatics and theoretical computer science.

The program gives a comprehensive knowledge of several areas in applied mathematics. The advanced courses present state of the art issues of the given area, e.g. in statistical methods, financial mathematics, code theory, numerical methods, etc.

In today's typically inter- and multidisciplinary working environment, there is a strong need for professionals with a strong theoretical background, capable of analyzing and effectively solving mathematical problems in engineering applications. Our Master's degree in Applied Mathematics with a specialization in Engineering Mathematics is unique in the country and represents a niche in this field. Applied mathematics is a branch of mathematics that focuses on mathematical methods applied in engineering and natural sciences, industry, and economics, modeling, analyzing and studying problems, developing and applying methods to solve them, and providing algorithmic tools for their study. The aim of the course is to train mathematicians who are able to effectively model and solve problems that arise in real-life applications, within engineering, natural sciences, industry, and management. The curriculum follows the recommendations of the SIAM, putting emphasis on application-oriented mathematics, practical applications, modeling and communication skills, teamwork, computer programming, and high-performance computing.
