About the Programme

Mathematics can save lives. Yes, that’s not a metaphor. The Mathematics and Its Applications study programme is designed for those who wish not only to understand mathematics on a deeper level, but also to apply it to solving real-world problems (even those that help doctors choose the most effective medicines for patient treatment). The aim of the Mathematics and Its Applications programme is to prepare broad-minded specialists with a strong mathematical foundation and the ability to use appropriate mathematical tools for solving practical problems in various fields – from optimisation and data analysis to industry, business, and economics. Students also gain skills applicable in energy, artificial intelligence systems analysis and other areas closely related with mathematics in social or/and scientific life/activities.

Career Opportunities

There’s a widespread but mistaken belief that studying mathematics only leads to a career in teaching or accounting. #VMUIF breaks that myth! Graduates of mathematics programmes are among the most sought-after professionals in technology, finance, analytics, and business – fields where precision and logical thinking are invaluable. Graduates of the Mathematics and its Application programme will be able to work as:

specialists in mathematical modelling and systems projection;
market analysts, information analysts, supply chain analysts;
specialists in business and industrial data analysis, risk assessment, and artificial intelligence;
statisticians in various fields, from biomedicine to energy;
mathematics teachers;
researchers or analytical experts in innovative start-ups and scientific projects;
they can also continue their studies in master’s programmes in mathematics or other related fields;
