Study obligations

The student has to pass:

  • 2 BASIC courses from the General, Theoretical or Discrete Mathematics core;
  • 1 BASIC course from the Financial Mathematics core;
  • 3 INTERNAL ELECTIVE courses from the Financial 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;
