After successfully completing his/her studies the graduate is able to:

• apply logical, analytical, and abstract thinking when solving practical problems
• understand general theoretical principles of mathematical methods
• apply analytical and optimization methods to solving practical problems
• solve problems in banking and insurance and interpret results in practice
• implement methods on computer and work with data sets
• use modern mathematical tools for computations in problems of financial and insurance mathematics

The graduates will find employment in financial institutions - banks, insurance companies, pension and investment funds, audit and consultancy companies. They can work as company financial analysts and in the state administration.

Most students are expected to continue in their studies and enrol in the follow-up Master's degree programme of Financial Mathematics.

The standard duration of studies is 6 semesters. To be admitted to the final state examination students must obtain a total of 180 ECTS credits for required, selective, and elective courses. Required courses constitute the basis of the discipline and make up 116 credits (including credits for courses focusing on writing a Bachelor’s thesis, language courses, and sport activities). Out of the selective courses, which make up 28 credits in total, students choose according to their interests and intended professional specialization. The remaining 36 credits can be obtained from optional courses offered in the study plan of the given study programme or from other courses offered by any other study programme.

During the course of their studies students should follow the Course Catalogue for their year of matriculation. More informations can be found on the department website: http://www.math.muni.cz/pro-studenty/studium-obecne-informace.html

The final state examination consists of two parts - defence of the Bachelor's thesis and an oral examination. The aim of the oral examination is to verify that the student can lead a discussion at a certain professional level. The purpose is to show a general overview of basic concepts and results of the individual branches and their relations in a broader context.

After completion of the Bachelor's studies, it is possible to continue further studies in any Master's degree programme (after satisfying the admission requirements). At the Faculty of Science students can apply for admission to a follow-up Master's degree programme in Financial Mathematics.
