About this programme

This master mixes pure mathematics with computer science, with course titles on both sides: Algebraic Topology, Homology Theory, Number Theory and Group Cohomology in mathematics, against Compilers and Interpreters, Software Engineering and Computer Networks in computing.⁠ Applied and data-driven options include Cryptography and Security, Data Mining, Artificial Intelligence, Convex Optimisation and Digital Imaging.⁠ Mechanics courses written for mathematicians cover classical and quantum mechanics, each at 6 ECTS.⁠

The programme lasts 2 years, or 4 semesters, for 120 ECTS, and is taught in French and English.⁠ Entry is through a bachelor in mathematics, computer science and digital sciences, in mathematics or in computer science, or an equivalent title judged on file, and a good command of French at B2 is expected.⁠ For the autumn 2027 semester, holders of a foreign bachelor apply by 28 February 2027 and holders of a Swiss bachelor by 30 April 2027.⁠ Career fields listed include insurance, banking and financial companies, consulting and teaching.⁠
