Master programmes in mathematics

When recruiting for a second cycle programme you need to choose a master seminar. Assignment to a master seminar determines your choice of master programme and specialization.

Each master programme and specialization involves a specific set of courses that you will be required to complete during your studies. These courses are counted in the pool of 11 facultative or monographic courses that are required to complete studies. In the case of the Mathematical Methods in Finance programme only, completing some of the courses is required already in the first year. In other cases, you are free to complete them over 2 years.

You can freely choose the remaining facultative or monographic courses (though keep in mind that facultative courses assigned only to the group of Facultative courses for first-cycle studies in mathematics, do not give credit during second-cycle studies). You can also complete up to 2 elective courses from another field of study (e.g., Computer Science or ML); the credits for passing them will show up in Usos as bonuses, summing up when settling a study term with 1000-MAT-FMON credits.

If you have completed any of the courses required for your specialization during your 1st-cycle studies, you can link them to your 2nd-cycle programme (as long as they were not used to settle your 1st-cycle studies) or ask the Student office to modify the ECTS credit requirements for specialization courses (the number of facultative courses required for graduation/the completion of your studies remains unchanged in this case).

In addition to your specialization courses, you need to follow the general course schedule for second-cycle programme in mathematics.
