There is a common entrance examination for the MSc and PhD programmes in Mathematics. Similarly, there is a common entrance examination for the MSc and PhD programmes in Computer Science.
The entrance examination for MSc/PhD in Computer Science is at the same time as the examination for MSc in Applications of Mathematics. If you wish to apply for both these programmes, you should fill out both forms but you should write the exam for MSc in Applications of Mathematics. Based on your performance in that exam, you will be called for an interview to finalise your admission to MSc/PhD in Computer Science
