Programme Objectives

The aims of the Applied Mathematics programme are:

  • to prepare broad-minded specialists, who have strong foundation and adequate skills for applying and developing mathematical models for industry, business, finance and other areas;
  • to cater to the demand for mathematics professionals for the knowledge society whose knowledge has at the same time a strong foundation, domain depth and interdisciplinarity and who are able to maintain and improve the professional competence trough lifelong learning.

Expected Learning Outcomes

  • Deepen and expand general knowledge of mathematics and apply it in a new non-standard environment;
  • Broaden and apply the knowledge of mathematical modelling for the economy and technical systems;
  • Broaden and apply the knowledge of reliability analysis and statistical methods for data analysis;
  • Identify, select and understand the state-of-the-art literature of mathematics and apply the gained knowledge to specific scientific and practical tasks;
  • Develop mathematical models integrating the knowledge from various fields and different mathematical modelling techniques, and analyse the modelling results assessing the model adequacy and accuracy;
  • Organize the process of research projects;
  • Analyse, understand and use mathematical methods;
  • Transform heuristic arguments into mathematical language; prove the propositions by using known patterns;
  • Critically evaluate personal results and professional experience and other persons’ activity
  • Work both independently and in an interdisciplinary team, generate ideas, integrate knowledge and skills;
  • Convey mathematical information to specialists of different fields orally and/or in written form, critically evaluate it;
  • Make decisions independently;
  • Take moral responsibility for the results of work.

Career Opportunities
