Calculus I, II, III or Analysis;
Algebra / Linear Algebra;
Differential Equations;
Probability;
Discrete Mathematics / Logic.

Only candidates with a minimum overall grade average of 6 out of 10 (accordingly, GPA ≥ 1.7; letter grade C-) are eligible for admission. A minimum grade of 5 out of 10 (accordingly, GPA ≥ 1.3; letter grade C- or D+) is required in the core mathematics subjects.

The sufficiency of the courses taken and the grades obtained by the candidates is decided by the Mathematics Study Programme Admission Committee based on the submitted Bachelor’s degree documents. If necessary, the programme admission committee may conduct a remote interview with the candidate, during which questions will be asked and tasks provided to test knowledge.
