In addition to the compulsory courses of the programme, students register to elective courses appropriate for their thesis topic, on the consent of their supervisor. If necessary, on the consent of their supervisor, they can also register to courses from other programmes (from DEU or other universities). It is obligatory to register MAT5001 Applied Mathematics (3 0 0) or MAT5041 Mathematical Methods (3 0 0) or MAT5051 Methods of Applied Mathematics (3 0 0) with approval of the supervisor. In the case of one of these courses taken during the M.Sc. education, these are not obligatory. The registration must be noticed to the Institute during course registration period by the supervisor. For Ph. D. students it is obligatory to take minimum 2 non-credit courses among "Ph. D. Programs Common Elective Courses" and be successful with grade (B) within 4 semesters of course taking period.
