Study obligations

The student has to pass:

  • 3 BASIC courses from the General, Theoretical or Discrete Mathematics core;
  • 3 INTERNAL ELECTIVE courses from the Discrete Mathematics core in the amount of 18 ECTS;
  • 3 INTERNAL ELECTIVE courses (student's choice) in the amount of 18 ECTS,
  • 3 EXTERNAL ELECTIVE courses in the amount of 18 ECTS;
  • 4 SEMINARS;
  • prepare and defend the MASTER'S THESIS.

External elective courses may be chosen from the areas of social sciences, humanities and natural sciences, and from study programmes at other faculties; however, students may also select a course from internal courses as their externally elective course.
