Mathematics and Informatics

     Department of Mathematics and Informatics was established in 1954, and since then has been one of the leading education and research institutions in the fields of mathematics and then computing that has been developing into a modern, European department recognised after the educational and scientific achievements of its lecturers, graduate students, and those attending courses at doctoral and post-doctoral studies.

 

    The teaching process is carried out at nine accredited study programmes at the undergraduate, graduate and doctoral academic studies. Apart from regular studying the students at senior academic years have the possibility to get included into scientific-research work that is carried out within the activities of students’ associations, as well as within numerous national and international projects. Within the regular study and activities carried out beyond the regular studies the students are directed to practical work in significant business systems in the country and abroad.

 

      The employees at the Department are included in implementation of a large number of scientific and educational projects, which are mainly of international character. It is the matter primarily of projects that are financed from the current European Union programmes, but also from other funds, IPA Program of Cross-border Co-operation between Hungary and Serbia, as well as based on bilateral and multilateral co-operation with several European countries (Germany, France, Slovenia, etc.). Numerous activities at the Department are related to organising of guest lectures of eminent experts from abroad, organising of exceptionally visited scientific conferences, study visits of our researchers at the world universities, as well as the development of the Centre of Excellence. The Department participates in organised mobility programmes, such as BASILEUS, JOIN EU SEE, STEM, CEEPUS, DAAD, etc. The exchange of the teaching staff members and students is successfully implemented through agreements on co-operation with the University Prince of Songkla from Thailand. The Department publishes its scientific magazine Novi Sad Journal of Mathematics.

Undergraduate (basic) academic studies


Studies of mathematics

 

  • Mathematics
  •  Applied mathematics
  • Graduate Professor of Mathematics


Depending on their affinities, future students have the option to choose one of two offered study groups:

 

  • Students of undergraduate (basic) academic studies of Theoretical Mathematics acquire primarily the basic knowledge in fundamental fields of mathematics. If they decide to continue their studies after the undergraduate studies and enrol graduate (master) studies they are free to direct themselves towards further study of theoretical results or towards acquiring methodological ad psychological-pedagogical skills necessary for teaching mathematics.
  • The students of applied mathematics may chose between two offered modules: Mathematics of Finance and Technomathematics. We also organise practical work for our students within their studies that is carried out, for example, at stock exchange, in banks and companies in which the experts of profiles for which the students are educated are in high demand.

 

Studies of informatics

 

  • Bachelor of Informatics of the first degree
  • Certified Graduate in Informatics

 

    Students of Informatics are getting acquainted with the current program languages, various techniques and tools, and they complement their knowledge with appropriate topics in mathematical fields of interest for application in computer science. Such a concept of studies is and ideal mix of theoretical basis and application of the acquired knowledge in practice. Upon completion of undergraduate studies the students acquire the title of Bachelor of Informatics.

The curriculum consists of mandatory subjects, two optional modules: Computer Science and Information Technologies, and a wide range of elective courses. Having selected an appropriate module and desired courses, a student is specialising towards more fundamental fields of informatics or towards more general business applications.


Master academic studies


  • Graduate Mathematician – Master (Modules: Theoretical Mathematics, Teaching Mathematics)
  • Graduate Mathematician – Applied Mathematics - Master (Modules: Mathematics of Finance, Technomathematics)
  • Bachelor of Informatics of the first degree – master (Modules: Computer Science, Theoretical Informatics, and Teaching Informatics)
  • Bachelor of Information Technologies of the first degree – master (Modules: Software Engineering, Information Systems)

Doctoral academic studies


  • PhD – Mathematics
  • PhD – Information Science

 

Opportunities after graduation


      Upon the completion of undergraduate/master studies a lot of opportunities for employment are getting open. It is truly rare for graduates of mathematics or informatics to wait for a job (they often start working during their studies already, or they conduct practical work that brings them better chances for employment immediately after graduation). Depending on their final choice on the study program they can find a job more easily in schools, at faculties, in scientific-research centres, at stock exchanges, in bank, insurance companies, administration bodies, public opinion research agencies, in modern industry, software companies – and this is by no means the end of the list of potential jobs.
