Charles University has a long tradition, dating back to the 14th century, of promoting science, knowledge, and education in general. Today, Charles University’s world-class research is the foundation for its high-quality education. In the Best Global Universities 2020 ranking, Charles University has been ranked as the 210th best university. In addition, it ranked among the top 100 in mathematics and physics. Here are the programmes in Mathematics, Computer Science and Physics you can apply for in 2021/2022.
Bachelor’s programme in Computer Science
The study programme usually takes three years to complete, and ends with a state final examination, after the successful completion of which the student is awarded the title of Bachelor of Science. Students who choose this major can choose from one of six specializations – Programming and software development, Systems programming, Databases and web, Computer graphics, vision, and game development, Foundations of computer science, and Artificial intelligence. The first year of study is common for all six specializations, which allows students to pick their specializations as late as in the second year of study, when they have enough information for such a decision.
Master’s Degree Programmes
Studies usually take two years and finish with a state final examination and master’s thesis defense. Graduates are awarded the title of Master of Science after successful completion of the study programme. Charles University offers Master’s Programmes in Computer Science, in Mathematics and in Physics. The focus in these programmes offered at the faculty is on understanding the core principles of how and why things work and on the application of these principles within modern technologies. The strong theoretical basis of the master’s study programme gives the graduates a competitive advantage in a dynamically evolving world where today’s technologies are often obsolete tomorrow.
