The aim of the first year of master is to offer a sound broad range training in mathematics (algebra, analysis, topology, probability and statistics). Options allow to each student to orient his/her training towards pure mathematics or towards applications to data science.
Application procedure. Applications are opened from April 15th till June 30th. They must be submitted through the dedicated website of Institut Galilée. Applications will be assessed as they are received and decisions taken on a rolling basis. In any case, decisions will be communicated to applicants at latest in early July. A second wave of applications might be opened from July 1st till August 30th, subject to the number of places available.
Excellence scholarship are available for the best students. Students may apply to several excellence scholarship programs. These programs are listed on this webpage.
The academic year starts by a "back to school fortnight", including some quick reminders on basic notions and results in algebra, analysis and probability, some exercises sessions, and an introduction to Python language (which will be used for applications).
The first and second semesters include seven regular courses. Each course consist in 30 hours of lectures and 30 hours of tutorial rooms and/or pratical work on computers. A typical course will start by a common core, before splitting into two possible options:
The academic year will end by a two month Supervised Research Work (TER in french) in pure or applied mathematics.
Students are required to accumulate 60 credits. Supervised Research Work (TER) is mandatory.
Natural prospects are:
A student who discovers that he/she is particularly fond of a particular domain of mathematics will have the opportunity to join ione of the many specific Master 2 programs in the Paris area.
