Study programme 2015-2016

Teaching and training



 By the end of the course the student will have acquired the knowledge of the discipline and the transferable skills needed to pursue studies in mathematics or in closely related fields (physics. statistics, actuarial science, computing). This knowledge and skill-set will also be developed by the end of the Master programme in the many and varied contexts and problems that come from other fields (economics and finance, actuarial science, statistics and biostatistics, computing and cryptography, telecommunications, biochemistry and pharmacology, physics and astronomy, climatology and meteorology).

The programme offers a broad education in the fundamental fields of mathematics and an introduction to closely related fields (especially physics, but also statistics, applied mathematics, and computing).

During the Bachelor programme, future graduates in mathematics will be able to bring to bear a critical, constructive and innovative view on the present-day world and its problems. They will have developed their educational and personal plans, which they will pursue during the Master programme with increasing independence.


On successful completion of this programme, each student is able to :
1) recognise and understand a basic foundation of mathematics.

2) identify, by use of the abstract and experimental approach specific to the exact sciences, the unifying features of different situations and experiments in mathematics or in closely related fields (probability and statistics, physics, computing).


3) show evidence of abstract thinking and of a critical spirit.

4) communicate in a clear, precise and rigorous way, in French and in English.


5) learn in an independent manner.
