Qualification Requirements and Regulations |
---|
Qualification Requirements: |
---|
Finished higher education in Bachelor's degree programme. |
Regulations: |
---|
The Czech educational system is regulated by the Higher Education Act (Act 111/1998). Studies at VSB-TUO are regulated by the Statute of VSB – Technical University of Ostrava. |
Profile of the Programme |
---|
The aim of the study is to educate graduates with practical skills and basic theoretical background in applied mathematics and informatics.
Graduate of the study program "Computational and Applied Mathematics" should be able to understand and solve problems from various other fields (electrical engineering, mechanics, medicine, ...). |
Key Learning Outcomes |
---|
Key Lerning Outcomes are Expressed in following Structure: Knowledge, Skills, General competencies |
---|
Knowledge: |
---|
The graduate has a broad knowledge of applied mathematics and informatics. He specializes in the use of modern methods of applied mathematics in various fields. The offer of special subjects, which are not part of state final examinations, enables students to acquire deeper knowledge in selected areas. Due to solid knowledge of applied mathematics and computer science, the graduate has all the prerequisites for flexible adaptation according to practice requirements, including research and development.
The graduate of specialization of Applied Mathematics is able to find mathematical structure in the practical problems and to create and subsequently solve relevant mathematical models, thanks to knowledge of relations and relationships between the various branches of mathematics (especially numerical analyzes, statistics and discrete mathematics).
The graduate of the Computing and HPC specialization is more oriented towards efficient (parallel) implementation of mathematical methods and the use of modern computer architectures, including supercomputers. |
Skills: |
---|
Graduates of the study program at graduation can independently define and creatively solve a theoretical or practical problem in the field of computational and applied mathematics. Using selected theories, concepts and methods, they can solve a complex problem in a self-contained and creative manner and gain new original information. |
General competencies: |
---|
Graduates are able to decide independently and responsibly in new or changing contexts, taking into account wider social implications, defining assignments for professional activities, coordinating them, and bearing ultimate responsibility for their results. They have communication skills that enable them to capture the essence of the problem, summarize their opinions and describe the nature of professional problems, present their opinions to experts and the general public in at least one foreign language, usually in English. |
Occupational Profiles of Graduates with Examples |
---|
The graduate can find his/her application in practically all areas of IT and applied mathematics, regardless of their focus.
Graduates apply not only in IT, science and research, but thanks to a certain universality of mathematics (and computer science) and learned skills to quickly adapt can apply to any field.
Many of the graduates are employed as scientific staff at the IT4Innovations National Supercomputing Center, others work as university teachers, programmers, analysts, consultants, etc.
Graduates can continue their Ph.D. studies in Computational and Applied Mathematics or in parallel computing and HPC. |
