Mathematics and astronomy have been taught at Charles University since its foundation. At that time, these subjects were part of basic studies in the Faculty of Arts. In 1920, the Faculty of Science was created by separation from the Faculty of Arts in 1920. The Faculty of Science was divided in 1952, creating two new faculties - Faculty of Mathematics and Physics and Faculty of Natural Sciences.

The Faculty of Mathematics and Physics prepares graduates in the fields of Mathematics, Computer Science and Physics. The study is divided into two successive, integrated steps. Bachelor courses are introductions to deeper studies that follow on in the master's programs. Master's study programs train experts for scientific and research institutes, government careers, industry and the private sector. Graduates of the master's courses with teacher training element are qualified to teach in secondary schools and secondary vocational schools.

Please note that regular programs in English in the fields of the bachelor and master studies given below will be open only if at least ten students apply. If the regular programs are not open, students can study on the basis of individual study plans.
