    Description of the exam test (s)

    Admission to master's degree studies at the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science is by competition, regardless of the form of education in which they are organized, based on the tests established by this regulation in order to test knowledge and cognitive abilities, based on an interview and analysis. the competition dossier. The knowledge specific to the field of study is verified by written and / or oral tests based on a bibliography containing specialized works.

     

    Details regarding the admission steps

      The selection of candidates registered for the admission competition is made on the basis of the admission average, which is calculated as a weighted average as follows:
      1. the average of the bachelor's exam - in the weight of 50%;
      2. grade on file - 30% (CV assessment, results obtained, including awards and distinctions obtained at national or international competitions, analysis of the content of the letter of intent (with emphasis on the motivation for choosing the program), level of knowledge of English) based on the certificate of language skills), elements of compatibility of the bachelor's degree program graduated with the chosen master's degree program);
      3. interview - 20% (assesses the ability to answer questions about the motivation for choosing the study program, as well as about general knowledge in the field of computer science).

      The general admission average, N, is calculated to two decimal places, without rounding, according to the following formula:

      N = 0.5 * N1 + 0.3 * N2 + 0.2 * N3,

      where N1 is the average for the bachelor's exam, N2 is the grade given by the examination board following the analysis of the competition file, and N3 is the grade given by the examination board following the interview.

      It's not necessary.
