Master Mathématiques et applications, Parcours Mathématiques fondamentales et appliquées (MFA, M1 with M2 AG, AP and PSE tracks) at Université d'Angers

A demanding research-oriented Master in fundamental and applied mathematics, run in partnership between the Universities of Angers, Nantes and Bretagne-Sud and backed by three CNRS mathematics laboratories. It trains professional mathematicians for academic research and the transmission of knowledge. M2 offers three tracks: MFA-AG (algebra, topology, geometry), MFA-AP (analysis, numerical analysis, probability) and PSE (preparation for the secondary-school Agrégation).

Faculty: Faculté des sciences (with Nantes Université and Université Bretagne Sud)  |  Department: Mathematics  |  Duration: 2 years (M1-M2)  |  Study mode: full-time; French  |  Intake: September  |  Location: Angers, Pays de la Loire, France

What you will study

Rigorous mathematical training in and through research, with scientific computing (Scilab/Python) and, in the PSE track, history, epistemology and didactics.

Career pathways

Researcher or lecturer-researcher in research bodies (CNRS, INRIA) and higher education after a doctorate; secondary, preparatory-class and university mathematics teachers through the Agrégation. Candidates can apply for Lebesgue Master grants.
