Introduction

The goal of this Master's program is to educate professionals in the field of statistics and data analysis who can utilize their skills in a wide range of industries and services such as banks, insurance companies, service companies, industries and research organizations. 

Most of graduates are able to find a job immediately after graduation, while others choose to take an extra year of study to achieve supplementary qualifications and others continue to PhD programs and research career. This program offers a distinctive and acknowledged training course that solely specializes in Statistics, Data Processing, Machine Learning toward Artificial Intelligence. This is made possible through a collaborative effort between a team of university professors-researchers and industry professionals. 

The program is available through both initial and alternating/continuing education options.

Objectives

  • Acquisition of advanced skills in statistics, data processing ("big data") and business relations
  • Possibility to prepare a certification for the SAS statistical software and the TOEIC (English)

Admission

  • Prerequisites for enrolment

    Baccalauréat +3

    Prerequisites training

    The Master's degree is open to students with a Mathematics or MIASHS (Mathematics and Computer Science Applied to Human and Social Sciences) degree. Students in their 4th year of engineering school are also accepted (Polyetch, ISIMA etc.)
  • Conditions of applications

    Application to the Master in Applied Mathematics, Statistics
    Required training

    Students with a degree in Mathematics or MIASHS (Mathematics and Computer Science Applied to Human and Social Sciences) are eligible for the Master's degree program. Students in their fourth year of engineering school, such as Polytech, ISIMA and others, are also allowed to apply. Applicants must have at least three years of experience post-Bachelor's degree. Candidates' profiles are evaluated during the admissions process based on their application files.

    Required recruitment level: Baccalauréat +3

    An examination of the candidates' profile is carried out on the basis of their application file.

    Application form: Mon Master
    *Selection: for capacity considerations and to offer a higher quality supervision of internships at the end of each year, the program establishes a numerus clausus for admission to M1 (first year of the Master). The admission jury will thus make an application selection from among all students applying for the M1, regardless of their original degree.
    Merit scholarship and application

    The Graduate Track for Mathematics and Physics offers excellence grants to its students, up to 4,000 euros per academic year.

    As part of its educational development policy, the University of Clermont Auvergne has set up a financial aid scheme for students enrolled in the Graduate Track for Mathematics and Physics.
    This support is awarded according to criteria of academic excellence, motivation and quality of the study project. The grants cover the first year of the Master's program as well as the first semester of the second year, until the beginning of the internship, for a total of 16 months.

    How to apply?

    A specific application file must be prepared, in addition to the application file for the Master, which must contain the following elements:

       - A curriculum vitae
       - 
    A cover letter presenting the study or research project and the reasons for your desire to come and study at the  University of Clermont Auvergne in the framework of this program
       - Transcript of your Bachelor's degree or equivalent diploma
       - Two letters of support from teachers or people who have worked with you in an academic and/or scientific context
