Qualification holders are qualified to:

(general competences)

  • analyse, synthesise and anticipate solutions and the consequences of factors in mathematics,
  • place mathematics within the broader social context,
  • reflect critically on developments in society at large,
  • critically assess developments in the field of mathematics,
  • work in the wider social community,
  • autonomously seek out and obtain professional knowledge and integrate it with existing knowledge,
  • demonstrate autonomy in professional work and research,

(subject-specific competences)

  • use mathematical and computing tools in specific research,
  • place mathematics in the broader social context,
  • move confidently in international mathematical circles,
  • carry out in-depth analysis of the development of a specialised field,
  • communicate in the context of global mathematical science and society,
  • create a hierarchy that breaks a problem down into sub-problems and combine partial solutions using engineering techniques.

Examination performance is scored as follows: 10 (excellent); 9 (very good: above-average knowledge but with some mistakes); 8 (very good: solid results); 7 (good); 6 (adequate: knowledge satisfies minimum criteria); 5–1 (inadequate). In order to pass an examination, a candidate must achieve a grade between adequate (6) and excellent (10).
