Objectives

The goal of this Master is to prepare high level mathematicians, excelling at modern applied algebra techniques, but also in cryptography and programming. The M1-M2 Master program in Applied Algebra is one of the rare programs in the Paris region which offers a complete preparation in cryptology, leading to many professional opportunities, both towards academic careers (Ph.D. thesis, teaching and research), but also in applied research (in high tech companies specializing in information security). For more information on professional opportunities, please visit the page Master 2  Applied Algebra.
