You need to cross the railway and continue along the bicycle road (the path is marked by a small bicycle on the attached map). While walking you will pass near the construction site and afterwards the faculties of Political Science (right hand side) and Biology (left hand side). The Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science (Coll. Mathematicum) is the second building on the left. It has black \ navy blue windows. The main entrance is at the back of the building, by the forest.
