Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

  • Have integrated and elaborate mathematical knowledge.
    • Mobilise the Bachelor's course in mathematics to address complex issues and have profound mathematical expertise to complement the knowledge developed in the Bachelor's course.
  • Apply innovative methods to solve an unprecedented problem in mathematics or within its applications.
    • Mobilise knowledge, and research and analyse various information sources to propose innovative solutions targeted unprecedented issues.
    • Appropriately make use of computer tools, as required by developing a small programme.
  • Communicate clearly.
    • Communicate the results of mathematical or related fields, both orally and in writing, by adapting to the public.
    • make a structured and reasoned presentation of the content and principles underlying a piece of work, mobilised skills and the conclusions it leads to.
  • Adapt to different contexts.
    • Have developed a high degree of independence to acquire additional knowledge and new skills to evolve in different contexts.
    • Demonstrate thoroughness, independence, creativity, intellectual honesty, and ethical values.
