The Master in Mathematics (60 credits) is clearly different from the 120 credit Master in Mathematics ; although it only takes a year of study, it is inspired by the same objectives, but aims in a more modest way to build on and refine the training in the bachelor’s degree. It is designed to provide general training of a high quality in important areas of mathematics.

The programme comprises core subjects of 30 credits and optional subjects (30 credits).

The only university training directly accessible from the 60 credit Master is teacher training (30 credits). It is also possible, in one year, to gain the 120 credit Master in Mathematics. This gives access to doctorates and Advanced Masters. Students’ attention is drawn to the fact that this progression will require the submission of two dissertations and may require up to 15 credits for additional courses.

Admission and Enrolment Procedures for general registration

The courses enable students to acquire mathematical tools. They will mostly be accompanied by work which forms the main part of the assessment. Individual work, group work and work in the library will be encouraged. The ‘research courses’ are directly linked to the most advanced research areas in the Department.

Students will mainly be assessed on the basis of individual work (e.g. reading, consultation of databases and bibliographic references, writing monographs and reports, presentation of seminars, dissertation and work placement). Where necessary, students will also be assessed on how much they have learned from lectures. As far as possible, there will be continuous assessment, including regular ‘open book examinations’. Certain activities will not be given a precise mark but will be officially certified. Assessment of the dissertation is in two stages : a ‘progress report’ at the end of the first year of the Master and the final presentation.
