MA/MS in Applied Mathematics

Objective(s) of a study programme: The aim of the Applied Mathematics programme is to prepare broad-minded specialists with strong background and adequate skills for applying and developing of mathematical models for industry, business, finance and other areas. Learning outcomes: Graduates of the programme will be able to 1. Apply knowledge of mathematics and develop mathematical models for industry, business, finance and other areas. 2. Perform scientific investigations in mathematical modelling, data analysis, control fields, and develop software. 3. Apply newest knowledge of mathematics in solving problems of various dynamic processes. 4. Independently deepens and expands knowledge of application of mathematics. Activities of teaching and learning: Lectures, practical work, seminars, laboratory work, individual work, reading literature, solving problem tasks, preparation for lab work, midterm and final exams. Methods of assessment of learning achievements: Knowledge and skills are evaluated using criteria-based study achievement assessment system of a 10 mark scale. Study results are evaluated during the semester through the intermediate exams (mid-term exams, practical, laboratory work) and the final exam. Final and mid-term exams are performed in the written form. The final evaluation consists of weighting marks of each assessment. Specialisations: - Optional courses: It is possible: deepen subject areas knowledge, choosing a specialized field of study subjects;choose a variety of related studies offered by the university;choose free additional general subjects. Distinctive features of a study programme: It is possible to obtain a certificate of completion of related studies.
