Entry requirements

M2 is for students who have successfully completed a first year of a Master's in Pure or Applied Mathematics or in Mathematics-Computer Science or who can prove they have an equivalent level, as well as Grande Ecole students.

Applications are examined by a committee.

Benefits of the program

Affiliated with top-level research laboratories (LAMA, CERMICS, LIGM) and the Bézout Labex

Attractiveness, clarity and career opportunities for the four programmes in partnership with ENPC.

Regional coherence (Paris East) of the training. Work-study programme and sessions with professional partners.

Acquired skills

On completion of the Master's programme, graduates will be able to:

- Master mathematical tools, whether differential, probabilistic, statistical or numerical, and adapt to their development and increasing complexity.

- Design and apply theoretical knowledge to respond in the most appropriate way to real and concrete problems in their area of expertise.

- Model random events.

- Recommend balanced solutions.

- Search for and use documentary resources optimally in order to explore new subjects or be able to innovate in subjects arising from everyday problems.

International

The international attractiveness of the Master's programme is demonstrated by the constant flow of scholarship students from the “Bézout” excellence pathway, which sets our programme apart from identical or similar programmes in France.
