- PhD track in Mathematics and applications
The PSL PhD track in Mathematics and Applications is a fully-funded 5-year program structured around two phases. During the first phase, students draw on courses from PSL’s research master in Mathematics and Applications and start working towards their research project. The research master is a stepping-stone towards the second phase of the PhD track, during which students work on their research project in one of PSL’s labs ( CEREMADE or DMA ). During that second phase, students are mentored to gain state-of-the-arts research methods, write academic papers, present at academic conferences and prepare for the academic job market. | Application deadline: 3 january 2023 |
![math phd in france Visuel Maths](https://static.psl.eu/sites/default/files/styles/750x450/public/timeline_maths_0.png?itok=xhoR8vaG)
PHASE 1 | Research Master in Mathematics and applications
PhD track students will complete their research master (Year 2) in the Applied and Theoretical Mathematics (MATH) track. Students will explore advanced topics in mathematics in an up-to-date, transversal and transdisciplinary manner. They will gain expert knowledge in theoretical and applied mathematics through research-oriented classes and multiple internship opportunities. Please note: The Master's program (2 years) can be adapted for students who already have a Master's degree (or who have validated a Master's degree Year 1)
Phase 2 | Doctoral studies
During their doctoral years, students will benefit from the following programs:
- PSL interdisciplinary courses: PSL is a strongly interdisciplinary university with special courses that cut across our disciplinary graduate programs and are open to all graduate students
- A CEREMADE Colloquium seminar is organized once a month (Master and PhD)
- Students are strongly advised to attend
- An Analysis and Probability seminar takes place once a week (3 times a month), it is also recommended to participate.

French Universities in the top international rankings
French Universities are recognized internationally for their excellence in Mathematics. French Mathematicians have won 12 Fields Medals to date, the 2nd country in the league table.
The high ranking combined with generous state subsidies and plenty of scholarship opportunities means that France offers one of the most cost-effective high-quality tertiary education in the world.
6 French universities feature in the Top 100 universities for Mathematics research in the world (QS World University Rankings 2020) and increasingly, most top universities are starting to teach in English, opening up to a wider cohort of students.
Cost of Education in France
France has long placed a lot of emphasis on investment in basic Sciences Research. This is evident from a large number of publicly funded research organizations in France, CNRS, INRIA etc. besides well funded doctoral schools within universities.
For international students, this translates to high-quality education at a very reasonable price. In most basic science courses in state universities, including Mathematics, the entire tuition fees are almost never borne by the student. Students are instead required to pay government-mandated registration fees for their courses which are very nominal (2770 EUR for Bachelors and 3770 EUR for masters in most cases)
A French government agency dedicated to Indian students
Campus France, the national agency for the promotion of Higher Education in France, has an extensive directory with lists of all mathematics courses available in English and French in France. Click here to find your next bachelor or master course and here for a PhD degree.
Campus France is present across 12 cities across India. Through their nearest Campus France office, students are able to find up to date information on courses, their admissions procedure and associated scholarships. Admissions advice can be sought for every level of studies, from bachelors to PhD and even short term summer programmes. Get in touch with your nearest office today!
In a webinar dedicated to Mathematics Education in France on 19th January 2020. Mr Aveek Mukherjee, VP of SaaS Business and Analytics for Spideo and Alumna of INP Grenoble shared his personal experience of studying in France and how it helped build his career "I chose INP Grenoble for my studies because of the quality of education foremost.....The effective cost of my education was even cheaper than in India."
Dr Stephéne Nonnenmacher, head of the Hadamard Doctoral School, itself named after the famous French Mathematician Jacques Hadamard, pointed out that "a third of our doctoral students are international students, coming from some 40 different countries, including India" showcasing the diversity of the student body at the tertiary level.
Dr Christophe Giraud, head of the Mathematics Masters Programme at Université Paris Saclay expressed his excitement for the new developments in the applied mathematics domain, of which France is at the forefront, especially in the fields of Deep Learning, Prediction and optimization problems. It truly is an exciting time to study Mathematics in France.

How to join PhD in Mathematics in France? [closed]
I am interested in joining a PhD program in Mathematics in France. Now I am a Master's degree student in India.
My research interests include Differential Geometry (in particular, Hyperbolic Geometry). I want to take admission into Université Paris-Saclay (more especially, Université Paris-Sud, École Polytechniqué), University of Strasbourg etc.
Can you please advise me how one could join the institutes as a PhD student?
Thanking in advance.

- 4 Don't each of them have a web site that explains admissions to doctoral programs? – Buffy Commented Jul 24, 2021 at 19:24
I suggest you have a look at this page : https://www.campusfrance.org/en/how-to-enrol-Doctorate-France and then specific universities pages.
I recommend you act swiftly as the process tends to start much earlier in the year, several offers have now been filled, but there are probably still some good opportunities if your search is wide enough.
Edit : here are some more details. On the following page you will see the results of the Masters students that have been accepted to a PhD position in mathematics at the University of Grenoble, which is strong in differential geometry. https://www.adum.fr/as/ed/page.pl?site=edmstii&page=alloc_modalite
As you can see : A) the deadline to apply was in june B) the results show that all but one students whogot accepted had done a Masters in France. This is not surprising since in mathematics most PhD positions are reserved for this case, i.e. this natiowide process where applicants with a french Masters are numerous and usually take up most of the positions since coming from a french Masters allows professors to get the grades of these students and the opinions of the colleagues who thaught them during the Masters. It's difficult to judge the level of an international student unless their candidacy has strong backing from a researcher whom the french ones know.
So to achieve your goal you'd have more chance to do a Masters in France next year, try to be among the top students, and apply. To succeed this year your Masters thesis should be really good, and you should have a recommendation letter from a good researcher, and finally you should try to see if a university, or a researcher with a special kind of grant, has some unfilled positions.

Studying mathematics abroad - specifically France
I have tried to avoid asking a "soft question" on here because I'm not sure if they are appreciated or not. However, this is one that has been bothering me. I was recently talking to a few friends of mine about my desire to study in France. I have a B.S. in Math, and am working towards a Master's degree.
We poked our noses around and posted various threads on different websites. So far we have gotten a lot of advice such as "Don't waste your time." Or other things such as "French universities have terrible math programs." However, constructive advice has eluded our questions. We are just generally met with antagonism towards the idea of studying in France.
My question is specifically this: what is a reasonable French university at which I can study mathematics. I would like to study in France. I have a reasonably strong command of the language. However, I may be hamstrung by the fact that I had only had ok/good grades in my math courses. Lot's of B's and B+'s. Anyway, I'm not looking for the oppurtunity to study at the grande ecoles. At the same time, I would not want to go to their equivalent of some sort of third-rate state university. I'm just interested in trying to seek out an oppurtunity to be abroad while studying mathematics.

- 2 $\begingroup$ Perhaps this is the place where Eric Naslund should be commenting ; he is a student at UBC who is currently doing his last year of B.S. at Ecole Polytechnique de Paris as we speak. @Eric Naslund : You gotta answer this one =) $\endgroup$ – Patrick Da Silva Commented Nov 23, 2011 at 6:11
- 2 $\begingroup$ The first warning I want to make is that the splitting points (=degrees) of a person's math education vary from one country to another. I don't know about France, but for example my Uni confers two levels of undergraduate degrees, and the upper one is translated as M.Sc. In terms of math exposure that master's degree is somewhere between a US bachelor or master's degree depending on A) how serious the student here was with his/her selectives and B) how much ivy your US college has. If you look for graduate programs, they usually mean doctorate only, and then a lot of B's becomes a problem. $\endgroup$ – Jyrki Lahtonen Commented Nov 23, 2011 at 7:59

The French system is a bit weird. The best places to go are not the university, but the so-called «grandes écoles» . So if you want the best, you should go to either the Ecole Normale Supérieure of Paris, or the the Ecole Normale Supérieure of Lyon, or the Ecole Normale Supérieure of Cachan or the Ecole Polytechnique. Beware that the selection level is quite high.
Now the second best places to go are big universities, which are not so bad. I recommend Jussieu (Université Paris 7), or Chevaleret (Paris 6). The main difference is that there is almost no selection at the first year undergrad level, whereas for the «grandes écoles» the selection is a huge national exam 2 years after high school... (you have to be in the first 200 out of several thousands to be in the ones I mentioned).
Hope that helps ! You should come, France is a nice country to study in ! =)
- $\begingroup$ How is the competitiveness of admissions at such places. I'm not saying that my grades are terrible (B+'s and B's), but I am aware that they are not amazing either. Would places like Paris 6 and Paris 7 be reasonable places to apply to for a master's degree? $\endgroup$ – emka Commented Nov 23, 2011 at 7:06
- $\begingroup$ I don't know about the admission rate for foreign students. but I can tell you the level at Paris 6 in master 2 (I didn't see that at first) is very good, as lots of students from the Grandes Ecoles I mentionned go to this master when they're interested in academics. (it's a bit less true for paris 7). so expect to work hard ! $\endgroup$ – Albert Commented Nov 23, 2011 at 10:00
- 1 $\begingroup$ @emka I don't know whether you're still interested, but ENS Paris has a program called sélection internationale which is suitable for international students. No French is required before the examination. $\endgroup$ – Yai0Phah Commented Feb 17, 2016 at 18:55
- 1 $\begingroup$ And for the answer: international students are not usually selected through «concour», but a specific selection procedure is organized by ENS Ulm and X, respectively, as far as I know. $\endgroup$ – Yai0Phah Commented Feb 17, 2016 at 18:58
I came to France to study after my bachelor's (which I did in Iceland). So far I've done my master's here and am finishing my PhD. I've spent my time here at the university in Grenoble.
I mostly concur with Glougloubarbaki. If your main objective is to study math, then try to go to a grande école, or go directly to a "Master 2" in a public university. This is the second year of masters, where you start specializing. The difference in dedication and skills of the students in public universities vs. grands écoles levels out during the M2.
If you want to take some time to see more of the culture and the country, then do the first year of master's in a public university as well, but know that if your background is strong you won't profit much from it.
As was already said, it is non-trivial to get into a grand école, but I recommend you try. You have about a 90% chance to get into any public university you want. I suspect the 10% failure rate is mostly due to papers getting lost along the way.
With these caveats in place, the question of which university to go to starts to depend an awful lot on what field you want to study for your masters. Different universities have different research groups. Paris has the advantage of having a lot of maths departments, so there is choice there, but other cities have good groups as well. For example, Grenoble has active groups in topology and algebraic geometry, some good analysis is coming out of Toulouse, etc. We might be able to give you some more detailed pointers if you tell us what you're interested in.

French system is unique regarding other countries in that fact that it is generally considered as a shame and a disgrace for a student to enter at 1st year of French public universities. This means that this student has failed to all the 'Grandes Ecoles' entry tests (Big Schools) but also to all the less prestigious engineering schools and the technology institutes - which are really like a thousands -
The paradox is that the teachers in these public universities come often themselves from the Elite Grandes Ecoles.
The other paradox is that a great deal of very good mathematician and scientists comes from public University despite this bad reputation.
For example Grothendieck did not come from the Ecole Normale Superieure but directly from the university of Montpellier.
At Phd level , students from Grandes Ecoles often enter directly public University.
Note that the mathematics taught at Msc level in Parisian Universities are often themselves quite good.
The French system is based on a sort of cruel and hard elitism which ages from Napoleon !st and most of the Grandes Ecoles do not provide Mathematicians but Engineers. Almost all Elite French Mathematicians come from one only ultra-selective school which is the Ecole Normale Superieure of Ulm.
This system seems a bit outdated by now and frankly a bit stupid ( I am from one of the top Grandes Ecoles myself )
With regards to the U.S system, the U.S system is for me unable to produce mathematicians on their ground, they need to constantly import them either from India, China, Russia or even France.
I wish we all could be like Grothendieck!

Math PhD in France
I am a mathematics student from Portugal and I am very interested in taking a PhD in France, however I am finding the process quite confusing. As of now, I searched thoroughly universities in Paris and my understanding is that instead of applying to universities, I should apply to doctoral schools, which are are shared among various universities, is this correct?
For example, for Paris I came across "ED 386 École doctorale de Sciences Mathématiques de Paris Centre" and "École Doctorale de Mathematiques Hadamard" and these are the only ones I found, are there any others?
I understand the target audience for this post is narrow but I am hoping to find someone here that can help me and I wish to thank you in advance.

Financial Aid
There are several potential ways that a Math Sciences graduate student can get financial support while enrolled at RPI. The most common methods are:
Fellowships
There are many opportunities for students to obtain fellowships to support their graduate studies. These fellowships can come from inside or outside the department or the Institute. For example, recent fellowships have been available from the Department of Education, and there are competitive fellowships available from the National Science Foundation. The specifics of fellowships vary from year to year, and the Graduate Student Coordinator has information on available fellowships and application procedures. Your academic advisor in the department is another good source of information about fellowships. You should be sure to consider that the Math Sciences Department has guidelines for continuation of support for doctoral students. Graduate students who receive full support from the Department should plan to complete their doctoral programs within four or five years. Students can expect that their support will continue through this period, provided that they continue to make satisfactory progress toward their degree and they continue to perform well in their teaching assignments. "Satisfactory progress" means completing courses, required examinations (preliminary, qualifying, and candidacy), selecting a research area, and making progress toward completing a thesis. If a student requires support beyond the fifth year, each situation will be considered individually.
Teaching Assistantship
Teaching Assistant (TA) assignments vary significantly throughout Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. In the Department of Mathematical Sciences, TA-ships are typically one-year appointments that cannot be extended for more than two years. They tend to be of two types. TA-ships can take the form of independent classroom teaching (often called recitations), which may include small lectures, problem solving, computer labs, grading, office hours, etc. The TA works with a TA Supervisor, who is the faculty member teaching the course. The vast majority of TA-ships are of this form. A few teaching assistantships take the form of grading and office hours only. All TA’s are required to participate in RPI’s TA Training Program as well as the Department’s TA Orientation prior to their first semester of teaching. In addition, all TA’s must attend the TA Seminar before or during their first semester of teaching at RPI. A graduate student, the Math Sciences Department Master TA, typically teaches this one-credit course (graded as Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory). The topics of this course vary according to the needs of the participants. In the past they have included: Maple, Grading, Laptops, Composing Quizzes, Campus Resources, Academic Honesty, Proctoring Exams, Extra Help, Office Hours, Latex, Making a Syllabus, etc. In addition, each TA has their class visited and feedback is provided.
Research Assistantship
Many faculty in the Math Sciences Department have research funding that can be used to support graduate students who are interested in doing research in their field. The Research Assistantships (RA’s) do not typically have any teaching component. This allows a graduate student to have more time to work on Master’s or Ph. D. research. This is a topic you may want to talk to your advisor about.

DU Professor Helps Solve Famous 70-Year-Old Math Problem
Jordyn reiland.
![math phd in france Jordyn Reiland writer](https://www.du.edu/sites/default/files/Jordyn-Reiland-headshot.jpg)
Assistant Professor Mandi Schaeffer Fry is the first faculty member to be published in the Annals of Mathematics since the 1880s.
![math phd in france University of Kaiserslautern Professor Gunter Malle, University of Denver Assistant Professor Mandi Schaeffer Fry and University of Valencia Professor Gabriel Navarro pose for a photo after announcing their theorem in Oberwolfach, Germany.](https://www.du.edu/sites/default/files/styles/featured_media_image_1200_x_801/public/feature-media-image/mandi_schaeffer_fry_in_article.jpg?itok=Js6Hcsr0)
University of Kaiserslautern Professor Gunter Malle, University of Denver Assistant Professor Mandi Schaeffer Fry and University of Valencia Professor Gabriel Navarro pose for a photo after announcing their theorem in Oberwolfach, Germany.
Whether it be flying trapeze, participating in competitive weightlifting or solving math problems that have confounded academics for decades, Mandi Schaeffer Fry enjoys chasing the next adventure.
Schaeffer Fry, who joined the University of Denver’s Department of Mathematics in the fall of 2023, will be the first faculty member since the 1880s to be published in the Annals of Mathematics , widely seen as the industry’s most prestigious journal.
In 2022, Schaeffer Fry helped complete a problem that dates to 1955—mathematician Richard Brauer’s Height Zero Conjecture.
“Maybe one of the most challenging parts, other than the math itself, was the knowledge of the weight that this would have on the field,” Schaeffer Fry says. “If you’re going to make an announcement like this, you have to be darn sure that it’s absolutely correct.”
Over the years, number crunchers have worked on the problem at universities across the globe, and some found partial solutions; however, the problem was not completed until now.
“Mandi’s accomplishment is exciting. Solving Brauer's Height Zero Conjecture is remarkable,” Mathematics Department Chair Alvaro Arias says.
The work is also a testament to DU’s achievement as a Research 1 (R1) institution.
Fry and her collaborators—University of Kaiserslautern Professor Gunter Malle, University of Valencia Professor Gabriel Navarro and Rutgers University Professor Pham Huu Tiep—worked around the clock over the course of three months in eight-hour shifts during the summer of 2022 to find a solution.
In April, that work was accepted for publication in the Annals of Mathematics.
'Brauer's Height Zero Conjecture (BHZ) was the first conjecture leading to the part of my field studying 'local-global' problems in the representation theory of finite groups, which seek to relate properties of groups with properties of certain nice smaller subgroups, letting us 'zoom in' on the group using just a specific prime number and simplify things," Schaeffer Fry says.
"The BHZ gives us a way to tell from the character table of a group (a table of data that encodes lots, but not all, information about the group) whether or not certain of these subgroups, called defect groups, have the commutativity property," she adds.
This paper was especially meaningful to Schaeffer Fry as she had always wanted to work with Malle, Tiep and Navarro as they have been her primary mentors. Tiep was her PhD advisor and this was the first time they had worked together since then.
Fry believes she has solidified her place in the field and knows she’ll likely never top this accomplishment, but she’s always looking for the next adventure—whether that’s in or out of the classroom.
Flying high and pumping iron
When Schaeffer Fry isn’t on DU’s campus working with students or conducting research, you can find her flying trapeze and competitive weightlifting.
Schaeffer Fry became involved in competitive weightlifting during graduate school, and, in the last year of her PhD at the University of Arizona, she defended her dissertation one day and got on a plane and competed at the national level for “university-aged” athletes—which included Olympians.
While she now lifts weights more casually, Schaeffer Fry competed last September in an over-35 competition and qualified for the USA Weightlifting Masters National Championships.
![math phd in france Mandi Schaeffer Fry performs a trick on the trapeze.](https://www.du.edu/sites/default/files/styles/story_in_content_384_x_390/public/mandi_trapeze.jpg?itok=-l9i2oh1)
It was a “field trip” during a conference in Berkeley, California, in 2018 that led Fry to become enamored with flying trapeze.
In fact, she enjoyed it so much she signed up to be a member of Imperial Flyers, an amateur flying trapeze cooperative located in Westminster. Once she found out about the sport, her previous experience as a gymnast made it a natural fit.
Not only is she working on her own intermediate tricks, she’s also a “teaching assistant” at Fly Mile High, the state’s only flying trapeze and aerial fitness school.
“It’s exhilarating; it’s gotten me a bit over my fear of heights,” she says.
