Course Description

Course Profile

In today’s data-driven and technologically advanced world, a strong foundation in mathematics is an invaluable asset across countless industries. Responding to the increasing demand for analytical and problem-solving skills, the Mathematics major offers students a rigorous and comprehensive education that blends theoretical understanding with practical application, while also providing opportunities for specialisation in Data Analysis and Security and Applications of Mathematics in Finance. 

Curriculum and course structure - the programme is characterised by a well-balanced and structured curriculum that includes core mathematicaltheory, applied modules, and problem-solving workshops. Students engage with subjects such as algebra, calculus, probability, statistics, and discrete mathematics, alongside computational methods. As they progress, students can choose a specialisation path tailored to their interests and career goals. The Data Analysis and Security track focuses on data processing, cybersecurity fundamentals, and statistical modelling, while the Applications of Mathematics in Finance track emphasises financial mathematics, risk analysis, and quantitative methods used in financial markets. The educational approach promotes active learning through problem sets, projects, and real-world applications. 

Interdisciplinarity and teamwork - the programme highlights the versatility of mathematics by demonstrating its applications across disciplines such as economics, computer science, finance, and engineering. Students develop the ability to analyse complex systems and solve problems using advanced mathematical tools. The specialisations further enhance this interdisciplinary approach, allowing students to apply mathematical reasoning in domains such as data security or financial modelling. Collaboration and teamwork are integral components, supported by experienced academics and industry practitioners. 

Preparing for the global job market - the programme is conducted in English, enabling students to operate confidently in international  professional environments. Emphasis is placed on developing the ability to communicate complex mathematical ideas clearly and effectively. Students are also introduced to specialised terminology used in fields such as data science, finance, and technology, preparing them for global career opportunities. 

Developing a variety of competences - graduates of the Mathematics programme acquire a broad range of skills:

• Analytical competences: modelling, analysing, and solving complex problems. 

• Research competences: conducting quantitative research and interpreting data. 

• Computational competences: applying programming and mathematical software tools. 

• Logical reasoning: constructing rigorous mathematical arguments and proofs. 

• Interpersonal competences: teamwork and effective communication of technical ideas. 

• Language competence: fluency in spoken and written English. 

• Specialised competences: expertise in areas such as data analysis, cybersecurity, financial modelling, and risk assessment, depending on the chosen specialisation.

Employment opportunities - graduates are well prepared for careers in a wide range of sectors, both nationally and internationally. Those specialising in Data Analysis and Security can pursue roles such as Data Analyst in the Big Data sector, cybersecurity analyst, or data engineer. Graduates of Applications of Mathematics in Finance are equipped for careers as specialists in banking, investment funds, and consulting firms, as well as financial analysts or risk managers. Additional career paths include positions as consultants in mathematical statistics and R&D experts in international research centres and global corporations. Opportunities also extend to roles in IT, consulting, finance, research institutions, and education, reflecting the versatility and strong analytical foundation provided by the programme. 

The Mathematics major is a modern and intellectually demanding programme that equips students with essential quantitative and analytical skills. Its strong theoretical foundation, practical orientation, and specialised study paths ensure that graduates are fully prepared to meet the challenges of today’s dynamic and evolving job market.
