The ECTS credits acquired in the various training units are used to validate the M2 required for the competitive examination.
Objectives
This course is designed to prepare students for the competitive examination for the agrégation in mathematics.
The Agrégation in mathematics is a highly selective competitive entrance examination for teaching in lycées, classes préparatoires (CPGE) and universities (PRAG). Possession of the Agrégé title can also be a very positive factor when considering recruitment by a private company, as it is a sign of a high capacity for work and concentration.
