EQF 7
Second level

The qualification holder will be able to:

(general competences)

  • think analytically and demonstrate understanding of complex systems that enable participation in various interdisciplinary teams,
  • demonstrate in-depth knowledge of general mathematics, computational mathematics or financial mathematics,
  • think mathematically and provide proofs and arguments in a variety of mathematical fields,
  • demonstrate a capacity for in-depth analytical thinking and argumentation,
  • critically assess developments in the field of mathematics,
  • resolve complex technical/work problems by finding sources of knowledge and applying scientific methods,
  • develop communication skills,
  • demonstrate autonomy in professional work,
  • show cooperativeness and work in a team,

(subject-specific competences)

  • demonstrate understanding of and solve more complex mathematical problems at a qualitative and quantitative level,
  • describe a non-trivial situation through the correct use of mathematical symbols and notations,
  • explain their understanding of more complex mathematical concepts and principles,
  • solve more difficult mathematical (and other) problems through the application of modern technology,
  • apply an algorithmic approach; develop an algorithm to resolve a given problem,
  • analyse a given problem numerically, graphically and algebraically,
  • deduce new logical conclusions from given data,
  • confidently address a given non-trivial mathematical problem and find a solution,
  • apply the approaches of scientific thinking to the quantitative treatment of problems in nature, the environment and society,
  • demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the influence of mathematics on the development of other sciences.

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 accumulated at least 45 credits by passing examinations in any first-year subjects, and have completed all first-year lab class requirements.

Third-cycle doctoral study programmes (SQF level 10)

In order to complete the programme, students must pass all examinations set out by the programme for a total of at least 120 credits, pass a master's examination and write and defend a master's thesis.
