What is the objective of the course? What is it?
What does it train you for?

Mathematics is recognized as a discipline characterized by a rigorous theoretical-formal structure as well as by significant applications useful for solving concrete problems in various fields.

The bachelor degree in Mathematics is a three-year program and it aims to train graduates with both a high level of theoretical and practical preparation.

At the end of the enrollment process, students are required to take a test, which is not selective in nature.

If they fail the test, they are assigned Additional Formative Obligations (OFAs).

The predominantly compulsory coursework includes exams in all areas of mathematics, as well as two exams in basic physics.

It also provides an English language exam, an internship at institutions or companies, and a final exam consisting of the discussion of an essay.

At the end of the program, the graduates will be able to provide rigorous and original proofs of mathematical results; formalize problems of moderate complexity and take advantage of such formulations to clarify or solve practical questions.

They also possess knowledge useful for reflecting critically on mathematics and science, their methods, their development, and their relationship to the humanities and society.
