Objectives
The Master of Mathematics is primarily intended for holders of a Mathematics degree or equivalent training. Holders of a professional license cannot directly access this program. The possibility of direct access to the second year is also possible by application. It is offered to M1 students from French or foreign universities with an initial mathematical training or from French or foreign engineering schools, or to students from the Ecole Normale Supérieure.
This course in fundamental mathematics leads mainly to a doctorate in mathematics, and to higher education.
The objectives of the Math-Fonda program are multiple. It aims to respond to the growing interest in high-level research in mathematics and its various applications. Thanks to a solid basic training, students benefit from a first contact with research problems in contemporary mathematics and the Math-Fonda program is therefore the preferred choice for future doctoral students in fundamental and/or applied mathematics.
Our students can directly enter the professional world or complete this Master's degree with another training, mainly a doctorate in mathematics. Students who are mainly interested in teaching can also prepare an agrégation in mathematics.
The job opportunities are vast and graduates of a Master's degree in mathematics go into public and private research, higher or secondary education, but are particularly appreciated in certain private sectors such as insurance, banking and fields using mathematical engineering. The Master's degree also gives access to certain competitive examinations in the civil service (national and local).
