Program
Diploma organized over 3 years, 6 semesters, 180 European credits.
All the courses in the Mathematics Bachelor's degree give access to the teaching profession and to certain civil service entrance examinations. They are also ideal for entry to the Grandes Écoles and access to research and innovation in a number of public and private sectors (statistics, artificial intelligence, engineering, etc.).
In 1st year, the following Portals and diplomas allow students to continue their studies in the Bachelor of Mathematics program:
MI = Mathematics and Computer Science
MP = Mathematics and Physics
ME = Mathematics and Economics
MS = Mathematics and Health (L.AS)
DDMP = Double MP diploma
CMI-ISDeM = Diplôme de Cursus de Master Ingénierie - Statistical Data Engineering and Modeling
The MI Portal gives access to either the Bachelor's degree in Mathematics, the Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or the Master's degree in Engineering (CMI ISDEM).
The MP Portal gives access to either the Mathematics or Physics Bachelor's degrees, or to the Mathematics-Physics Double Diploma.
The ME Portal gives access to either the Mathematics or Economics degree, or to a combined degree in Mathematics and Economics.
The Portail MS gives access either to the Bachelor's degree in Mathematics, or to studies in Health.
In Semester 1, the mathematics courses taught in these tracks are the same, and are supplemented in equal measure by courses in the associated discipline.
In semester 2, students wishing to obtain a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics will choose mathematics as their main subject, and will take a small number of courses in the second subject of the Portal.
The Double Diploma in Mathematics-Physics (DDPM) and the CMI-ISDeM are predefined curricula comprising, on the one hand, the same courses as those in the Portals and, on the other hand, additional disciplinary modules.
In the 3rd year, the Bachelor of Mathematics offers two courses:
- MA-Fundamental pathway : Fundamental Mathematics and Applications. This is the basic course in the Mathematics degree.
It provides training for further study in Masters programs in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics, or in Econometrics (Master ESA), giving access to research and innovation careers in several public and private sectors (statistics, artificial intelligence, engineering, finance, etc.), as well as to entrance examinations for the Grandes Écoles.
Finally, it provides access to the teaching profession through preparation for the Agrégation competitive examination (Master's in Mathematics), as well as the CAPES competitive examination (Master's in MEEF), and certain civil service competitive examinations.
- MA-Teaching pathway: Mathematics for teaching. The modules taught are largely the same as for the MA-Fundamental course, except for two modules per semester which are adapted to studies leading to the CAPES competitive examination (via the Master MEEF).
Selective courses:
- Double Diploma MP
Accessible from semester 1 via Parcoursup and on application, or in semester 2 for students with excellent results in semester 1 and after advice from the pedagogical commission. Continuation in this course in subsequent semesters is subject to the advice of the pedagogical committee. At any time, it is possible to refocus on just one of the two bachelor's degrees.
The dual degree course in Mathematics and Physics offers motivated, hard-working students the opportunity to complete both the Mathematics and Physics degrees in 3 years, by taking pre-fixed modules from both degrees.
It enables students to continue their studies in Masters of Applied Mathematics and Masters of Physics, as well as taking part in entrance examinations for the Grandes Écoles.
- DU CMI - ISDeM : The Cursus Master en Ingénierie ISDEM is a 5-year course of excellence in the Figure network. It is attached to the Bachelor's degree in Mathematics and the Master's degree in Applied Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Orléans. Access to the program is by selection during the Parcoursup application process, but motivated students with a high level of academic achievement from the Portail MI can enter in semester 2 or in year 2. In addition to the modules of the Mathematics degree and one module of the Computer Science degree per semester, students take socio-economic courses. At any time, it will be possible to refocus on the Mathematics degree.
- MINERVE program: In addition to entry to the Mathematics bachelor's degree via the preceding Pathways and Diplomas, it is possible to enter via the Portals of the Université d'Orléans Minerve program of excellence: MI-Minerve, MP-Minerve, ME-Minerve and the DDMP-Minerve diploma. Around ten places are available in 1st year for each of these courses. They are reserved for students of a very high level, wishing to pursue their studies right through to doctorate level, to dedicate themselves to research. Please note that for the ME-Minerve portal, the only possible continuation of the program is the mathematics degree.
In the 1st year, students in these programs will take additional research awareness modules in addition to their portal courses.
In the 2nd and 3rd years, this additional subject matter will be continued and supplemented by introductory research courses.
The Minerve program naturally continues with Master-Minerve programs at the Université d'Orléans, in particular the Master Minerve in Mathematics.
