Faculty of Applied Mathematics educates its students accordance to the spirit of "The Technical University". The students acquire a deep understanding of mathematics as well as thorough knowledge in technology and economics. The knowledge and skills learned during lectures and in the laboratories cover topics in mathematics, computer science, IT, economics and physics allowing the students to master many real-world problems. In particular problems in financial mathematics, computer science, materials engineering, electronics, automatics, mechanics and other areas of technology are studied. After 10 semesters of uniform studies the graduates are awarded with an M.Sc. degree in mathematics.

The following specializations are offered to the students:

- financial mathematics
The students are thought how to construct and use mathematical models describing financial phenomena.

- computational and computer mathematics
The students are qualified to apply mathematical techniques in computer science and in the technical sciences. The students also gain a good knowledge in a chosen technical field, which will enable them to pursue their education within the framework of a given Ph.D. programme in the technical sciences.

- mathematics in technical and natural sciences
The graduates are thought how to apply mathematics to technical and natural sciences. The student gains a strong knowledge in mathematical modelling of technical and natural phenomena, which enables him/her to be employed in the scientific and research units of companies as well as to continue his/her education at doctoral level in other fields.

- mathematics in computer science and management
The graduates are provided with practical skills in using mathematical methods applied to various problems in computer science, management, telecommunications and economy. Special attention is paid to discrete mathematics and optimization.

On graduation the student is awarded with an M. Sc. in mathematics. In addition he/she will have gained knowledge in engineering, economics as well as specialist knowledge in financial and computational mathematics, modern technology, natural sciences, economics, education and finance. Many employers require highly qualified canditates who are both computer literate and capable of applying mathematics to a wide range of problems. In particular, in the areas of information technology and telecommunications candidates are expected to be highly skilled in computer science and mathematics. Technical and economic problems, using mathematical models, simulation and numerical techniques need to solved. This demands a highly educated graduate equipped with interdisciplinary knowledge. A graduate from the Faculty of Applied Mathematics at AGH should possess a strong background in mathematics as well as an understading of problems in engineering and economics. In addition, the graduates will also be trained in the methodology of teaching mathematics. The general engineering and economic knowledge is supposed, among other things, to enable graduates to co-operate with the experts in other fields. The graduates will find employment in industry, banks, insurance companies, administration, institutions of higher education and secondary schools. As teachers they are encouraged to share their knowledge about applications of mathematics in technology. During their studies students of mathematics are thought numerous mathematical techniques. This strong mathematical education is complemented by partical computing experience, enabling the solution of real-world problems, both technical and economic. Graduates may continue their education within the framework of Ph.D. programmes at various technical faculties of the University.
