Master's Degree In Mathematics

Programme Aim

• Train highly skilled mathematicians ready for advanced industrial roles or PhD studies.
• Provide deep theoretical knowledge and tools for scientific discovery and engineering design.

Importance of Mathematics

• Essential for high-tech industries and research areas such as virtual processing, climate studies, fluid dynamics, and advanced materials.
• Mathematical science, strengthened by large-scale computing, has become the third pillar of science alongside theory and experiment.

Programme Content

• Courses cover key areas such as:
  • Optimization
  • Complex Analysis
  • Functional Analysis
  • Measure Theory
• Emphasis on both theoretical depth and applications.

Graduate Profile & Career Paths

• Graduates receive the Master of Science degree.
• High demand in industry and academia.
• Employment examples: Tietoevry, Škoda, ČEZ, banks, and other major companies.
• Many continue with doctoral studies at Czech, European, and US universities.

Mathematics & Sustainable Development

• Strong abstraction allows mathematical models to be applied across diverse fields.
• Enables investigation of scientific, engineering, social, and economic phenomena once quantifiable.
• Mathematics contributes to multiple UN Sustainable Development Goals, including:
  • Good Health and Well-being
  • Clean Energy
  • Economic Growth
  • Innovation & Infrastructure
  • Sustainable Cities
  • Climate Action
  • Reduced Inequality
• Master′s coursework includes examples and projects related to sustainable development.
• Master′s thesis topics often address sustainability-related questions.

Study Environment

• Friendly, respectful, and student-centred atmosphere.
• Individual support for students facing challenges.
• Research-oriented students can join current mathematical projects with faculty members.

International Mobility

• Many students spend one or two semesters at a European university through Erasmus+.

Requirements for Master′s Degree Study Programme

• each applicant must have duly completed one of the following study programme types (from a related field)
• delivering a motivational video in English (to the designated UO cloud) + passing an interview with the Dept. of Mathematics representatives
• B2 English language level (no certificate required)
