Program and structure

The Master’s programme is very flexible and allows you to design a personal and coherent programme over the two years. It is an opportunity for students to think about the future and to define one or more professions that they may wish to pursue. Students choose a programme director who will guide them through the many options on offer so that they can make the best possible choices to prepare them for the careers they are interested in. 

During the first year, an individual or group project will enable students to study mathematical subjects and their uses in greater depth. Students will also take courses in mathematics and other related subjects. The second year will be dedicated to a work placement and a dissertation. 

Distribution of Credits

Teaching profile

The programme description defines the expected learning outcomes at the end of the cycle (Bachelor's, Master's, etc.). The programme description defines the expected learning outcomes, i.e. what the student should know, understand and be able to achieve at the end of a learning activity, a teaching unit or a study cycle (Bachelor's, Master's, etc.). Learning outcomes are defined in terms of knowledge, expertise and soft skills. 

At the end of the course, students will be able to: 

• Use their acquired professional skills according to the objectives of the degree programme 
• Demonstrate a high level of integrated mathematical knowledge 
• Carry out large-scale projects 
• Solve new problems in mathematics or in its applications in an innovative way 
• Communicate clearly 

• Adapt to different contexts.

Opportunities

This course naturally leads to jobs in the IT industry. There are many jobs in the financial data processing sector, in modelling and optimisation of production systems (e.g. in the pharmaceutical sector), in the space sector, etc. on offer to graduates of this Master's programme. Research, especially in the field of theoretical computer science, is also an option.
