Qualification level

SQF 8
EQF 7
Second level

The qualification holder  will be able to:

(general competences)

  • use abstraction and analyse problems,
  • synthesise and critically assess solutions,
  • apply knowledge in practice,
  • undertake autonomous professional work and work in an (international) group,
  • critically assess and present their results,
  • pursue further independent learning and keep abreast of literature,

(subject-specific competences)

  • demonstrate familiarity with traditional and modern results in the field of theoretical and applied mathematics and disciplines closely connected to mathematics (computer science, mechanics, etc.),
  • demonstrate understanding of more complex mathematical proofs,
  • abstract practical problems,
  • use mathematical literature,
  • use various mathematical methods to solve specific problems,
  • carry out programming using relevant programming tools.

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).

In order to enrol in the second year students must have passed first-year examinations worth at least 50 credits.

Third-cycle doctoral study programmes (SQF level 10)

In order to complete the programme, students must pass all examinations, including a final examination, and write and defend a master's thesis.
