Theoretical computer science
Follow-up Master's degree in full-time form. The language of instruction is Czech.
The programme can be studied only as a single subject with a specialization (Discrete algorithms and models, Formal analysis of computer systems, Fundamentals of Artificial Inteligence or Principles of programming languages).
Admission to Master's degree programmes in 2026/2027 (beginning: Spring 2027)
Submission deadline until midnight 30 November 2026.
What will you learn?
The study of theoretical computer science focuses on a deeper understanding of basic principles underpinning the development of contemporary information technologies, including non-classical computational devices such as neural networks or quantum computers. Together with the active mastering of advanced theoretical as well as practical concepts, a special emphasis is put on the development of abstract thinking. The students gain a deeper understanding of advanced algorithms, principles of modern programming languages, and methods for verification and analysis of computer programs. Further, they understand the basic advantages and limitations of non-classical computational devices. After successfully completing the programme, the students are qualified for a wide variety of positions requiring complex expert skills.
“There is nothing as practical as a good theory (Kurt Lewin).”
Practical training

Career opportunities
After successfully completing the study programme, the students are qualified for a variety of IT positions including a developer, system architect, or verification engineer. Solid mathematical skills together with deep knowledge of non-trivial algorithms enable the students to find jobs in the financial sector. The acquired knowledge and skills may be well used also in the follow-up Ph.D. programme.
Admission requirements
Study options
Single-subject studies with specialization
