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.
- Use prior knowledge to independently learn high-level mathematics.
- Research mathematical literature in an efficient and relevant way.
- Read research articles in at least one discipline of mathematics.
- Carry out major projects.
- Independently carry out a major project related to mathematics or mathematical applications. This entails taking into account the complexity of the project, its objectives and the resources available to carry it out.
- Give constructive criticism on the quality and progress of a project.
- Appropriately use bibliographic resources for the intended purpose.
- Present the objectives and results of a project orally and in writing.
- 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.
- Have sufficient knowledge of English for basic scientific communication.
- Adapt to different contexts.
- Have developed a high degree of independence to acquire additional knowledge and new skills to evolve in different contexts.
- Critically reflect on the impact of mathematics and the implications of projects to which they contribute.
- Demonstrate thoroughness, independence, creativity, intellectual honesty, and ethical values.
Learning Outcomes of UE
By the end of the Master's thesis, students will have developed a high degree of autonomy by producing a piece of work of some breadth focusing on a particular topic in mathematics, an application of mathematics to a concrete problem, or a question in the didactics of mathematics.
UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance
Depends on the chosen topic.
