Program Structure

The first two years of the Program are based on a custom selection of taught modules and lab experience, giving students the tools required to continue with a challenging three-year long-term research project, leading ultimately to a PhD degree.

While the Program is rather demanding, students have the flexibility to define their own goals and research interests within their chosen discipline during the first two years.

Students may also have the possibility to start the PhD Program in the second year of the MSc (4-year PhD program). In either case, progression to PhD study requires successful completion of the MSc.

Years 1 and 2 (MSc)

• At the end of the fall term students are required to submit a mid-year progress report and, with their tutor, define a research project and choose a lab and a team.
• A progress meeting and discussion of the study plan are held at the end of each year. Students may leave the PhD Program after Years 1 or 2 for personal or academic reasons; in this latter case, they may complete the Master's Program.
• Students are expected to complete an intensive research internship at the end of Years 1 and 2 of the Program.  

Years 3 to 5 (PhD)

• During this period, at least one year must be spent teaching, participating in a scientific outreach program or consulting for industry.
• There are annual progress reports at the end of Years 3 and 4, plus a provisional timeline for Year 5 drawn up at the end of Year 4.
• Students complete a written dissertation demonstrating the results of original research that meet the requirements for a PhD.
• Students must also successfully complete an oral defense of their PhD research.

French Universities in the top international rankings

French Universities are recognized internationally for their excellence in Mathematics. French Mathematicians have won 12 Fields Medals to date, the 2nd country in the league table.

The high ranking combined with generous state subsidies and plenty of scholarship opportunities means that France offers one of the most cost-effective high-quality tertiary education in the world.

6 French universities feature in the Top 100 universities for Mathematics research in the world (QS World University Rankings 2020) and increasingly, most top universities are starting to teach in English, opening up to a wider cohort of students.

Cost of Education in France

France has long placed a lot of emphasis on investment in basic Sciences Research. This is evident from a large number of publicly funded research organizations in France, CNRS, INRIA etc. besides well funded doctoral schools within universities.

For international students, this translates to high-quality education at a very reasonable price. In most basic science courses in state universities, including Mathematics, the entire tuition fees are almost never borne by the student. Students are instead required to pay government-mandated registration fees for their courses which are very nominal (2770 EUR for Bachelors and 3770 EUR for masters in most cases)

A French government agency dedicated to Indian students

Campus France, the national agency for the promotion of Higher Education in France, has an extensive directory with lists of all mathematics courses available in English and French in France. Click here to find your next bachelor or master course and here for a PhD degree.
