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.
[this is intentionally in french] Si vous envisagez de préparer l’agrégation de mathématiques l’an prochain, il est conseillé de valider un module de dès cette année. Voir ceci et ceci pour cela.
- Spend a year doing (research) internships, in France and/or abroad.
- Double diplomas (here, and also here for EPFL).
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 L. Assouline, S. Fernandez, U. Léchine and P. Oechsel.
