Qualification awarded: Bachelor in Applied Mathematics
Entry year: 2021
Mode of study: full
Program duration: 4 years
Institute: Institute of Applied Mathematics and Fundamental Sciences
Number of credits: 240 ECTS credits
Level of qualification according to the National Qualification Framework and the European Qualifications Framework: NQF Level 6 (First cycle of QF-EHEA / EQF Level 6)
Field(s) of study: Mathematics and statistics
Specific arrangements for recognition of prior learning: Given that previous level was obtained in another country, it requires nostrification, which is done by Lviv Polytechnic. There are no recognition rules for non-formal and formal education.
Characteristics of the educational program: The program includes theoretical study (220,5 ECTS credits) in the form of auditorium classes (lectures, seminars and practical studies) and independent work of students. The amount of studying hours contains 43,77% of auditorium classes and 56,23% of self-study. Studying time of students by the disciplines cycles includes humanitarian and social-economic disciplines (18,0 ECTS credits), natural (fundamental) sciences (82,0 ECTS credits), professional and practical training (74,0 ECTS credits) and disciplines to choose (66,0 ECTS credits). A student receives credits in case of successfully passed tests or exams in written or oral form (evaluation criteria given in p.4.4) and successful defense of course project and reports of practice. Total number of ECTS credits is 240,0 taking into account semester control, pre-graduation practice (4,5 ECTS credits), preparing and defense Bachelor’s thesis (9 ECTS credits).
