Our department is privileged to offer two international degree programs, taught in English: the Master of Science (MS) Program in Applied Mathematics and the Doctoral (PhD) Program in Mathematics and its Applications. Both programs have been accredited by the New York State Education Department, United States. They have been designed in accordance with the structure and standards specified by the Bologna process, while at the same time maintaining American features. Thus, our programs are fully recognized and highly appreciated throughout the world.

The department has been evolving into a  major center for research and education. Our partnership with the Alfréd Rényi Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences contributes to the department's successful development. Cooperation with local and foreign renowned scholars and institutions is strongly pursued and encouraged. It is worth mentioning that, over the years, the department's faculty has been complemented with scholars from abroad, such as: Carsten Carstensen (Humboldt University, Berlin), Constantin Corduneanu (University of Texas at Arlington), Eduard Feireisl (Czech Academy of Sciences, Prague). We also host visiting researchers as well as visiting non-degree students who come here to spend one semester or more.

Our MS students are mainly prepared for careers in industry, corporations, banks, research institutes, governmental and EU institutions. At the end of their MS studies, they  may embark on various PhD programs, either in Mathematics or in related fields. On the other hand, our PhD students are well prepared for positions in academic and research institutions, but they have access to a wide range of  job opportunities outside the academic world, as well.

Mathematics students have a unique opportunity to work under the supervision of outstanding experts in various fields of mathematics and its applications. They can also benefit from the wonderful CEU environment, which allows close cooperation with other CEU departments. The rich scientific life of Budapest is also beneficial to our students.

Currently we have students coming from fourteen countries: Belarus, Botswana, Bulgaria, Cameroon, Canada, Hungary, India, Madagascar, Moldova, Romania, Russian Federation, Switzerland, Turkey, USA. I would be happy if the geographical and cultural area of student recruitment extended to other countries. Our department offers a wonderful framework for educational and research cooperation, intercultural exchanges, and healthy social life.
