At the Department of Mathematics classes are organised after the aforementioned foreign universities. Lectures, exercises and seminars are held regularly in accordance with the curriculum. For the purpose of carrying out exercises and seminars, students are divided into smaller groups (max. 40 students for auditory and 20 for laboratory exercises). Weekly student contact hours range between 20 and 24 hours, all courses are one-semester courses and, as a rule, their respective classes do not exceed 4 hours a week. Department's library has at its disposal satisfactory quantity of professional literature related to every course, as well as textbooks and other teaching material.

The overall teaching process foresees continuous knowledge assessment. For that purpose, for every course a special notebook is prepared for tests taken by students every 2-3 weeks. Test-related tasks are prepared by the lecturer in co-operation with the assistant. The content of the test is such that it checks whether students acquired minimum knowledge dealt with in classes, i.e. lectures and exercises. Students' tests are also graded by the lecturer in co-operation with the assistant. Test results, as well as solutions to tasks, are announced as promptly as possible on the Department's website. In order to eliminate possible misunderstandings, students are encouraged to come to tutorials. Within the framework of some courses students are also supposed to prepare a seminar paper.

In this way students are encouraged and stimulated to study continuously during semesters, revise and study thoroughly what they did in classes. At the semester end lecturers have at their disposal every student's notebook containing graded tests taken by the student, and, if planned, a written seminar paper. These are the elements on the basis of which oral examination can be carried out and the final grade reached for every individual course. Students who failed passing examinations in this way, must take a standard written and oral examination, whereby test and seminar paper results are taken into consideration.

The analysis conducted after the first year of the first cycle degree programme in mathematics at the Department of Mathematics shows that the results of such organisation are much better than expected: as early as 15th of July 64% of students met requirements for progression to the next academic year, i.e. prior to the autumn examination period. 40% of the aforementioned student passed all examinations by that date, 10% of students had one examination to pass, whereas 14% of students had two examinations from the first year of study. Since there is the autumn examination period ahead, at least 50% of students are expected to meet requirements for progression to the next academic year with all examinations referring to the previous academic year passed, and a certain number of students is expected to meet requirements for progression to the next academic year in September.

In comparison to former study programmes, workload assigned by this new first cycle degree study programme in mathematics has been significantly reduced, course contents are more adequate, and students are continuously assesses in terms of their work and knowledge. In this way quality of acquired knowledge is raised which in turn contributes to better study results at the Department of Mathematics.

The best students participate in scientific and research projects headed by the Department of Mathematics staff. We also try to help them get international scholarships.

Students studying at the Department of Mathematics also take part in the Students' Association and IAESTE.
