Training summary
The mathematics degree is aimed at high school graduates who have taken the mathematics specialization in their penultimate and final years of secondary school.
The aim of this Bachelor's degree is to provide a solid general education in mathematics, as well as a foundation in computer science. In particular, it should allow students to access any Master's program in pure or applied mathematics.
The organization of teaching allows students enrolled in a Bachelor of Mathematics to follow a double Bachelor's degree in mathematics/computer science or mathematics/physics, or to pursue University Diplomas (DU) in computer science or economics from the first year.

The aim of this degree is to provide a solid general education in mathematics, as well as a foundation in computer science. In particular, it should provide access to any Master's degree in pure or applied mathematics.
The training program is part of the institution's various strategic objectives: "aiming for success for all in training", "strengthening the attractiveness of training programs", "meeting the needs of the region".
It offers diverse career paths (two University Diplomas allow students to complete their disciplinary studies, as well as two double degrees), with the implementation of new teaching methods (widespread use of digital tools such as Moodle, collaborative editing such as over-leafcollaborative network work, particularly using SageMath, forums, etc.), flipped classroom, computer projects.
Advantages of the training
General mathematics training giving students a wide range of skills and potential for integration, particularly for pursuing a Master's degree in Reunion Island but also at the national and international level.

Course Description
Description of the core courses of the Bachelor of Mathematics, to which are added 3 transversal teaching units (UE) per semester (English, digital culture, professional project, mandatory internship in L3, elective teaching units among others):
First year of Bachelor's degree (L1): The first semester begins with instruction in disciplinary scientific methodology and continues with an introduction to general algebra and Python programming, both shared with the first-year Computer Science students, as well as an analysis course. The second semester offers an introduction to linear algebra, an introduction to arithmetic and cryptography, as well as an analysis course and a descriptive statistics course.
Second year of Bachelor's degree (L2) The first semester covers the reduction of endomorphisms in linear algebra. The analysis course continues. An introduction to the SageMaths software, taught entirely through practical sessions, is offered, as well as courses in discrete mathematics and data structures, both shared with the Computer Science Bachelor's degree. The second semester consists of courses in algebra, analysis, probability and statistics using Python, and functional programming shared with the second year of the Computer Science Bachelor's degree.
The disciplinary concepts necessary for the CAPES mathematics exam are thus covered by the first two years of the Bachelor's degree.
Third year of Bachelor's degree (L3) The third year of undergraduate studies (L3) prepares students for a Master's degree in mathematics: differential calculus, topology, integration, group theory, applied analysis and algebra, ring theory, probability, numerical analysis, and an introduction to complex analysis. One elective course per semester offers a choice between computer science and preparation for the new version of the CAPES mathematics teaching certification exam.
Targeted skills
The skills acquired during this training are in line with those of the RNCP record
Specific teaching methods
Internships and supervised projects
The mathematics degree includes in 3rd Each year, a mandatory work placement of at least one month is required. This placement can be a manual labor placement or be carried out in a research laboratory, particularly within the Laboratory of Computer Science and Mathematics (LIM). It can also be completed in 1st or 2rd year then be assessed in 3rd year.
Cost of training
Registration fees are set annually by the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Space and are available on our institution's website: Register at the University of Reunion

Application procedures
Depending on the student's situation, applications to enter the first year of Bachelor's degree (L1) take place according to two specific procedures (the national platform Parcoursup, Études en France).
Admission to the second and third years takes place on the platform admission.univ-reunion.fr and on Studies in France for foreign students.
For more information, you can consult the university's student services page: https://www.univ-reunion.fr/choisir-sa-formation/inscriptions/etudiants-en-reinscription/
Conditions of access to training
Baccalaureate or equivalent.
Target audience
High school graduates with a scientific baccalaureate, specializing in mathematics.
Accommodation capacity
120 seats.
Application period
The admission dates for the first year of the Bachelor's degree (L1) are set nationally each year and are available on the platform. Parcoursup.
For admission to the second and third years of the Bachelor's degree (L2 and L3), the schedule is determined by the institution. It is available on the student services page of the university website: Students re-registering
Success rate
On average, over the last 3 years:
L1: 31%
L2: 55%
L3: 51%

Continuing Studies
The mathematics degree is designed with the aim of pursuing further studies in a Master's degree in mathematics, with a view to preparing for the external competitive examination for mathematics teachers and/or continuing with doctoral studies.
At the end of the bachelor's degree, students can also take the CAPES (Certificate of Professional Aptitude for Secondary Education) in mathematics, and potentially continue with an internship at the National Higher Institute for Teaching and Education (INSPÉ). Furthermore, the bachelor's degree offers the possibility of entering engineering schools, actuarial science schools, etc., either through application or competitive examination. It also allows students to take civil service exams. In summary:
- Pursuit of a Master's degree in mathematics with a view to preparing for the external competitive examination for mathematics teachers or to consider doctoral studies.
- Continuation at INSPÉ for a CAPES validation internship after passing the exam.
- Admission based on application, or competitive examination, to engineering schools, actuarial schools, etc.
- Preparation for administrative competitive examinations.
