            Starting from the 2013/14 winter semester, Charles University will offer three-year bachel

            master’s programmes in Computer Science [ URL "http://www.mff.cuni.cz/admission/"] . The a
            will be 3,000 EUR (around 3,900 USD) for students from the EU and 5,000 EUR (around 6,500 
            from outside the EU.

            “This is an important moment in the life of our faculty. While we have always offered cour
            we are now opening a complete undergraduate study programme,” said Jaroslav Nešetřil, one 
            distinguished researchers at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics.

            Even undergraduate courses are taught at the faculty by prominent researchers. The quality
            is demonstrated by e.g. the BIRD routing server, which originated as a student project and

            more than 40% of Internet peering centres worldwide.

            The quality of the programs at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics is confirmed by the 

            graduates moving on to successful careers with companies such as Google, Facebook, IBM, Go
            and Avast.
