Mathematics and Statistics

The Mathematics and Statistics programme from Masaryk University aims to prepare high-quality scientific specialists in the Institute of Mathematics and Statistics at MU. 

The Mathematics and Statistics programme from Masaryk University graduates should be prepared primarily for further scientific work in academic institutions, but also for possible application in practice. Upon graduation, graduates who wish to continue their research work are motivated to gain long-term foreign experience as post-doctoral students.

Career opportunities 

Graduates will apply to mathematical workplaces of basic research, universities and scientific research institutes of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic.

The best graduates are fully prepared to successfully apply for postdoctoral positions at high-quality universities abroad.

Graduates can also act as college teachers at universities with a technical, economic and pedagogical focus.

Graduates of applied specializations will also find use in practice, in institutions where the use of deterministic and stochastic models of real processes where specialized statistical software is being developed, and in institutions focusing on research in the field of probabilistic and mathematical-statistical methods.

The individual science teams of the Institute of Mathematics and Statistics cover the following research themes in which PhD students are also trained:

• Categories and ordered sets, number theory, semigroup theory

• Geometric structures, geometric complex analysis, algebraic topology

• Theory of Differential and Differential Equations, variance number and optimalmanagement

• Mathematical modeling, statistics and data analysis, applications in biology and medicine
