Type of instruction Full-time

Duration 2 years

Programme description

- The programme is designed for applicants with bachelor’s degrees and for students with different levels of training in mathematics.
- It is based on individual educational trajectories, aimed to meet employers' requirements for employee qualifications to the maximum extent possible. This enables graduates of the programme to: acquire the knowledge, skills and abilities they need; and start work with a minimum adaptation period.

Our advantages

- The degree programme is aimed at training experts who are capable of: independently setting and solving theoretical and practical tasks in this and related subject areas; independently conducting research in areas that use methods of applied mathematics and computer technology; developing and using mathematical models of processes and objects; developing and applying cutting-edge mathematical methods and software to solve problems of science, technology, economy and management; and applying effective mathematical approaches in the field of artificial intelligence systems and modelling of complex systems.
- Students will learn how to: formalise the original problem; construct mathematical models and verify their adequacy; develop known and create new methods of solving mathematical physics problems; apply methods of paralleling calculations to solve practical problems; create a computer implementation of the resulting solutions; use effectively statistical and mathematical packages; create effective computer realisations of statistical methods for solving practical problems; and develop known and create new statistical methods of data processing.
- Graduates of the programme will be capable of carrying out research, design, engineering and manufacturing, organisational and managerial, and teaching work related to: the use of mathematics, programming, information and communication technology and automated control systems; mathematical and statistical modelling; and the development of software for science and industry.
