"Mathematics and Applications" Master's program
With its thematic diversity and flexible orientation, this master’s degree serves as an excellent preparatory step toward a PhD in mathematics. It is particularly recommended—though not required—for PhD candidates at EDMH, whether following a full two-year M1+M2 program or entering directly at the M2 level.
The Master’s program draws on the outstanding expertise of the mathematics laboratories of Université Paris-Saclay and Institut Polytechnique de Paris. The wide range of research conducted in these laboratories offers students an insider’s view of mathematical research and enables them to engage with a variety of current and open-ended problems. This exposure to research takes many forms, including seminars, supervised projects, and internships in laboratories or companies.
M1 + M2 Jacques Hadamard track of Excellence
The Jacques Hadamard track of excellence spans the entire field of mathematics. Admission is selective, and its primary aim is to prepare students for doctoral studies following the master’s degree. Progression to a PhD at the end of the program depends on obtaining a doctoral fellowship.
Both Université Paris-Saclay and Institut Polytechnique de Paris warmly welcome international students to their respective Jacques Hadamard Tracks: Master 1 Mathematiques Jacques Hadamard – Orsay and Master 1 Mathématiques Jacques Hadamard - Ecole Polytechnique. Within these M1 programs, the two institutions jointly offer a wide selection of courses taught in English.
The courses taught in English—listed here—are organized by thematic areas, and students may choose any number of courses within each theme, from none to all. Students may also attend other courses from the M1 Jacques Hadamard, although these are taught in French.
M1+M2 Tracks
Although the six M1+M2 tracks are designed to span two years, students may apply to transition to one of the M2 programs in the field after the first year, subject to acceptance by the program supervisors. Likewise, admission to the M2 level is possible for students coming from another M1 program, also subject to acceptance.
M1 Tracks
In addition to the combined M1+M2 tracks, three M1 programs are offered to provide an initial orientation: Fundamental Mathematics and Application, Applied Mathematics (Orsay campus and Evry campus), and Mathematics in Interaction.
M2 Tracks
Around ten M2 specializations are available, covering all areas of mathematics. These courses are more advanced and closely connected to current research, preparing students either for doctoral studies or for diverse career paths in academia, industry, and beyond.
