Description

The fruit of collaboration between Ecole Normale Supérieure - PSL and Dauphine - PSL, the Master's degree "Mathematics and applications" from Université PSL provides advanced training in fundamental and applied mathematics.
The training is backed by the mathematics and IT laboratories of ENS - PSL and Dauphine - PSL, as well as the research centers of partner institutions, and is part of PSL graduate program in Mathematics and Applications. Mines Paris - PSL and Observatoire de Paris - PSL are also part of the curriculum.
Its ambition is to train specialists in mathematics in the broad sense, preparing for professions both in the academic sector and in those of the service and industrial sectors where modeling takes a predominant place.

Learning outcomes

Delve deep into mathematics during the first year.
Enhance first-year theoretical knowledge and lead into applied and theoretical mathematics.
Pursue a doctorate or pursue studies leading towards professionalization.

Tracks

3 tracks are proposed for the Master's degree, year 1:
•   M1 track in Applied Mathematics
•   M1 track in Fundamental Mathematics
•   M1 track in Advanced Mathematics

The Master's degree, year 2, dedicated to specialization, offers 5 tracks:

•   M2 Actuarial services
•   M2 Statistical and Financial Engineering (ISF) – accessible in initial training or apprenticeship
•   M2 Mathematics of Insurance, Economics and Finance (MASEF)
•   M2 Mathematics, Apprenticeship and Human Sciences (MASH)
•   M2 Applied and Theoretic Mathematics (MATH)

Opportunities

According to the specialization track chosen in the 2nd year:
• Doctorate in theoretical or applied mathematics
• Professions in the service sector, particularly related to the evaluation of risk and decision-making (actuarial services, insurance, finance, statistics and data science).

Laboratories involved

The training is backed by the mathematics and IT laboratories of the partner establisments:
•   CAS, CMM at MINES Paris - PSL
•   CAMS at EHESS
•   CEREMADE and LAMSADE at Dauphine - PSL
•   DMA and DI at Ecole Normale Supérieure - PSL
•   IMCCE at Observatoire de Paris - PSL

Admissions

Prerequisites (M1): Students holding a bachelor's degree in mathematics or 180 ECTS credits from a scientific curriculum of bachelor's degree or equivalent level, and particularly students coming from the CPES of PSL, ENS -PSL, MINES Paris - PSL and the bachelor's degree in Mathematics from Dauphine - PSL.
Selection process: Based on an application or application and interview depending on tracks.
