Mathematics of Insurance, Economics and Finance (MASEF) - Master's Year 2

Detailed assessment methods are communicated at the beginning of the year.

Courses in the second year of the Master's degree in Mathematics and Applications for the Mathematics of Insurance, Economics, and Finance (MASEF) program are organized into semesters 3 and 4. Semester 3 consists of core and optional courses, and semester 4 consists of an internship, a core course, and optional courses from three thematic blocks: The program begins in September, and class attendance is mandatory.

• Learning for economics and finance
• Finance and risk management
• Economics and games

Students must carry out additional research work, resulting in the writing of an individual final thesis. This research work may be replaced by a minimum four-month internship, followed by the writing of a thesis on the subject of the internship. A defense is organized. The internship grade is awarded after the defense. This internship must be technical in nature in order to be validated by the MASEF program director. Students are responsible for finding their own internships.

The "individual project" specialization is intended for students who wish to use their M2 year to explore a specific topic in greater depth. They are then individually supervised by a researcher as part of a project that takes place during the academic year.
Students wishing to write an academic thesis are strongly encouraged to follow this program. They must first obtain the express agreement of the head of the second year of the Master's degree in Mathematics and Applications, MASEF program, before December 31 of the current academic year. This work results in the writing of a thesis, which must be of an advanced technical level. A presentation is organized before a jury composed of at least two faculty members.
Students who choose the individual project are exempt from the applied research thesis or the internship.
