Overview

The basic goal of this Mathematics from the University of Ostrava is to provide you with mathematical knowledge and deepen it. Also, our objective also is to develop your skills of independent logical thinking, abstracting and mathematising real issues, solving the issues using mathematical methods and computer technology, and finally interpreting the results correctly. 

Having finished your studies, you will be ready to work independently as well as in a team and you will be capable of extending and completing your knowledge and skills.

Why study mathematics at the University of Ostrava?

The University of Ostrava is one of the few Czech universities that offer the study of professional mathematics. Our Department of Mathematics cooperates with the Department of Informatics and Computers. Therefore, the study is unique as you can obtain an education in the field of both mathematics and partially informatics as well. At our department, you will be surrounded by a friendly, working, and open atmosphere. During your studies, you will have the possibility to become a member of a research group.

If you participate, you will get a chance to gain further valuable experience. At the department, you will have access to a modern university library with more than 250,000 books.

Career

The skills you will acquire comprise independent logical thinking, abstracting and mathematising real issues, solving the issues using mathematical methods as well as computer technology, and interpreting the results correctly. 

Moreover, the skills will comprise working autonomously and/or in a team, extending and developing obtained knowledge and skills, presenting them, and communicating in English. Such skills will further predetermine you - if you are a graduate of the follow-up Master´s degree in Mathematics - to work as an independent professional specialist (or a team/working group leader) on analysis, modeling, and problem solving using mathematical methods.
