Program Objectives
The master in Applied and Theoretical Mathematics is an advanced one-year training which prepares students for a doctorate in mathematics in one of the following fields :
- Analysis of partial differential equations
- Control and numerical analysis
- Probability and statistical mechanics
- Interface of analysis and probability
- Geometry and dynamical systems
- High-dimensional statistics and geometrical inference
Our master is also adapted for students with a background in physics who aim at acquiring the key tools for the mathematical modelling of physical phenomena. In particular, thanks to a partnership with the ICFP Master in Physics of ENS, we offer the possibility to follow some courses in the physics department of ENS and to validate a minor in physics.
This program can also lead directly to the job market: after graduation, our students can get into the industrial research and development sector.
We provide individual guidance aimed at helping each student to make the most of our extensive program offer and to find a suitable master thesis director. International students are very welcome. Most courses are taught in English and a full curriculum in English is possible.
This program is based in particular on the research teams in mathematics at CEREMADE (Université Paris Dauphine PSL) and DMA (ENS PSL), as well as at École des Mines Paris PSL , at Observatoire de Paris PSL, at the EHESS, and Collège de France.
The Master is part of the Graduate Program in Mathematics at PSL Research University, and it benefits from an exceptional environment for studying mathematics : in 2023, in mathemacics, PSL Research University is ranked 12th in the Shangai ranking, 7th in the US News ranking and 12th in the QS ranking.
When you enroll in a Master's program, you also join Université PSL. Ranked in the top 50 universities in the world (THE and QS), PSL offers excellent graduate programs at the Master's and PhD level, which benefit from the scientific capabilities of its member institutions. The degree is prepared at Université Paris Dauphine-PSL and awarded by Université PSL.

The challenges of the ecological and social transition in the Master's degree programs
Several courses and tools are offered to students in the Master’s program, regardless of their specialization
- “Ecological Transition and Social Responsibility” Certificate
- “Dauphine Durable” SPOC A common base of knowledge in the areas of ethics, social responsibility and sustainable development. It tackles the basics of CSR: control, human resources, finance, marketing, strategy, climate issues and the environmental transition.
- “Managing SDGs” SPOC A unique learning experience in which students from multiple countries work together on real-life case studies.
- Virtual University of the Environment and Sustainable Development At PSL, Dauphine is a founding member of Université Virtuelle Environnement et Développement durable (Virtual University of the Environment and Sustainable Development), which allows it to provide its students with a set of resources and MOOCs.
