2^nd cycle: Master in Mathematics

The master in maths has four specializations that extend the choice made in the first cycle and are in touch with the job that you want to perform:

• Professional Focus: Computer science [curriculum]
• Professional Focus: Finance [curriculum]
• Teaching Focus [curriculum]
• Research focus [curriculum]

The courses are common to two years of Master, which allows great flexibility in the composition of your curriculum. You get the advice of members of the institute so that your choices are best suited to your goals. You will find below a brief description of the various specializations that we offer, accompanied by testimonials from former students.

Whatever the specialization, you will have the opportunity to explore subjects of contemporary mathematics of your choice, through an internship, a project, and/or a master thesis. A member of the Department will assist you throughout.

• During the first year of the master, you will be invited to work on a project. This project, which may be made alone or with other students, will be designed in line with your interests and career goals. You will choose the theme of your work through discussions with the members of the Department. For example, in 2008, three students, accompanied by a teacher, headed for a robotics project. They created “intelligent robots” that can find the exit of a maze and solve the Rubik's cube.
• During the second year of the master, you will have the opportunity to perform an internship related to specialization you have chosen. Its purpose is to help you to get acquainted with the kind of work you will do at the end of your Master. Students specializing in computer science and finance will perform an internship in a private company. Those choosing to focus on teaching will give some classes in high schools. Finally, those with a research focus will be initiated to academic research.

In addition, an option can be added to your diploma to reflect the complementary skills that you have acquired. It will also be possible during your master's studies, to take courses at another university with which the Department has signed an agreement, for example through the Erasmus programme.

Professional Focus: Computer Science

Research Focus

Read the testimony of a student.

The research focus specializatiobn is for those who wish to do a PhD in mathematics. You will specialize in one of the research areas of the Department of Mathematics and will be brought to a level that will allow you to enter the world of research today. A PhD. thesis is a natural sequel to that education.
