The regular conditions and admission procedures are detailed on the web page "Access to studies" : http://www.ucl.ac.be/etudes/libres/acces.html

The second cycle of university studies, ("licence") programme in Mathematical Sciences offers three orientations : the classical orientation, the statistics orientation and the mathematical economics orientation. The only students entitled access to the mathematical economics orientation are those who have followed a course on mathematical economics on their MATH 12 programme.

The statistics and mathematical economics orientations are characterised by the presence of a certain number of advanced courses in the corresponding speciality ; they also foster the orientation of the thesis towards the selected speciality. All orientations lead to the same "licencié" degree in Mathematical Sciences.

This course will be followed in the 1st or2nd year.

The students who do not take or pass the oral expression test in English will take the following course :

Besides the common courses, the students will follow the below-listed compulsory courses :

In addition, the students will take courses from the following list, for a total of at least 16 ECTS.

The Mathematics Department can authorise the registration of another course or seminar of the Physics "licence" on the student's programme.

Besides the courses common to the three orientations, the students will follow the compulsory courses listed below :

Besides the courses common to the three orientations, the students will follow the compulsory courses listed below :

The students must present a thesis (MATH 2999). The choice of a thesis director must be approved by the Mathematics Departement by the third week of the first quadrimester of the second year, at the latest. The preparation of the thesis is equivalent to about 25 credits. The thesis readers are appointed by the Mathematics Departement by the beginning of the 2nd quadrimester of the 2nd year, at the latest. The list of thesis readers will be communicated to the jury secretary.

or

This seminar is organised in the context of the "Language plan".

This course will be followed in the 1st or 2nd year, according to choice..

Besides the core courses, the students will take a minimum of 27 credits from the list below, spread over two or three of the five course titles. The activities chosen under any course heading may not surpass 20 credits. A seminar will be subject to examination or a graded piece of work.

The Mathematics Department may authorise the registration of a course or seminar not featuring on the list below on the minimal programme of the student, equivalent to 30 hours ; this course will be of a mathematical level analogous to that of those courses. The Mathematics Department may also authorise the registering of a course or seminar chosen from the UCL programmes on the minimal programme of the student.

The content of the MATH2392 and MATH2450 courses changes each year. These courses feature on the programme of the first and second year. They may be taken as options both in the first and the second year of the programme.

Besides the common courses, the students will take the following compulsory courses :

7 credits, from among :

The minimum option is for 6 credits, to be chosen from one or two of the four following titles :

1. Algebra, Geometry - Logic

2.Analysis - Mechanics

3.Physics

5. Numerical Analysis - Computer Studies

Besides the common courses, the students will take the following compulsory courses :

One course to be chosen from among :

The minimum option is for 6 credits, to be chosen from one or two of the four following courses :

1.Algebra - Geometry - Logic

2. Analysis - Mechanics

3. Physics

5. Numerical Analysis - Computer Studies

The three orientations may be prolonged by third study cycle (masters) programmes, extended study diplomas and PhDs, either in the same speciality or in a complemetary speciality. For example :

• the DEA in Pure and Applied Mathematics (for research in mathematics)
• the master's programme in statistics, the DES and DEA programmes in Statistics (for an initiation or perfection in the domain of statistics)
• the master's programme in Actuarial Sciences
• the DES in Applied Sciences, orientation : Computer Studies
• the DEA in Economic Sciences, the DES in Econometrics, and the DES in Financial Economics, for "licence" diploma holders in Mathematics coming from the Mathematical Economics orientation.

The "licence" diploma holders in Mathematical Sciences from the Statistics orientation may, in addition, obtain the DES in Statistics in one year instead of two.

The "licence" diploma holders in Mathematical Sciences who have added a certain number of Computer Studies courses to their programme, are entitled access to the second year of the "licence" programme in Computer Studies (orientation : General Computer Studies) in line with certain procedures still to be specified (please address the secretary's office of the MATH Department or the programme manager for the "licence" in Computer Studies).
