Admits students obtaining the general secondary education certificate - Mathematics department. A major specialization is chosen after level 1 and a minor after level 2. Specializations are:

Also, after the fourth semester, students are allowed to enroll for the minor specialization according to the supply and demand and the availability of the department.

gollark: The halting problem is that no Turing machine can tell if arbitrary Turing machines will halt though? No complexity hierarchy involved except theoretical oracle things.
gollark: Regardless of whether you think they are impossible or not, IQ tests and similar things are, as far as I know, correlated with stuff like educational attainment and income.
gollark: I can barely visualise things but not in detail. I also have really good memory for random facts but not life events, and excellent short term verbal memory but awful picture/number memory. Which is odd since those are meant to be correlated.
gollark: That isn't the halting problem and I disagree.
gollark: Regular polyhedra.
