Studying mathematics and computer science at the same time
Recruitment for mathematics and computer science at the same time
Double degree programme in Computer Science and Mathematics (JSIM) is intended for laureates and finalists of mathematics and computer science Olympiads.
If you are not one of the above, but you have been admitted for both study fields at the same time (and you really want to study both fields), you can ask the vice-dean for student affairs at the beginning of the academic year for permission to study according to a modified study plan.
Before you make a decision, take into consideration that such a solution involves a high risk for you. Failure to pass key courses (e.g. Mathematical analysis I.1 or Introduction to programming) may even result in your removal from both study programmes. In other cases you may be removed from one field and have to make up the differences in the other one.
The study plan for Double Degree Programme in Mathematics and Computer Science (JSIM) covers/provides for:
- unregistering from Introduction to Computer Science I and II (in the summer semester) in Mathematics and taking Introduction to Programming in Computer Science instead. Risk: if you fail to pass Introduction to Programming, you will be removed from Computer Science and you will miss Introduction to Computer science I in Mathematics.
- unregistering from Introduction to mathematics in Mathematics and obtaining a credit for Foundations of mathematics (PM) in Computer Science
- unregistering from GAL (Geometry with linear algebra) in Computer Science and obtaining a credit for GAL I (Linear algebra and geometry) in Mathematics
- unregistering from AM I (Mathematical analysis for computer science I ) in Computer Science and obtaining a credit for AM I.1 (Mathematical analysis I.1) AND FOR AM I.2 (Mathematical analysis I.2) in Mathematics. Risk: failing any part of AM (I.1 or I.2) in Mathematics means failing AM I in Computer Science Also, the obligation to pass AM II (Mathematical analysis for computer science II) in Computer Science (from the summer semester) will be transferred/deferred to the following academic year and replaced by the obligation to pass AM II.1 (Mathematical analysis II.1).
If you manage to obtain credits for all courses required for the first year, from the second academic year you will be able to continue your JSIM studies; (this will involve the need to "delay" one of your study fields (Computer Science or Mathematics) by means of a dean's leave, which may mean that you will not be able to apply for the Rector's scholarship in that field in a given study cycle).
