The presentations of the internships will take place on september 5th and 6th, in Lyon.

Next year.

Most of the M1 students proceed along one of the following paths after validating the M1:

  • Study in M2, either at ENS Lyon or somewhere else (in France, abroad).
  • Follow a year of preparation for the agrégation de mathématiques.
  • Spend a year doing (research) internships, in France and/or abroad.

This is something you should keep in mind along the year of M1, and prepare ahead of time.

Means of communication.

The class representants are R. Cerda and T. Sterin.
