ALGANT

ALGANT is a double degree master programme in Pure Mathematics, focused on ALgebra, Geometry And Number Theory. Its members are the Universities of Bordeaux (France), Duisburg-Essen (Germany), Leiden (Netherlands), Milano (Italy), Concordia (Canada), Padova (Italy), Paris-Saclay (France) and Regensburg (Germany).

The ALGANT Master has been selected in 2004 and again in 2009 by the European Commission as an Erasmus Mundus Master Course (EMMC).

Students attend courses in at least two partner institutions, following individually tailored study programmes. Upon completing the requirements of the programme, they are awarded a double degree.

Newly graduated students will be in a strong position to apply to high-level doctoral programmes worldwide or can envisage working in companies looking for the know-how we teach.

Courses

The study plan requirements are:
1) You need to reach 120 ECTS in 2 years, completing aorund 60 ECTS in each institution. The Master’s thesis and a seminar/language course (at most 4 ECTS) are included in the final count.
2) The courses Algebraic Geometry 1 and Number Theory 1 are compulsory for first-year students.
3) You need 2 courses in mathematical analysis (but only one if you also take Number Theory 2), 1 course of either mathematical physics or probability, 1 course of algebra.

Selection & Scholarships

All ALGANT Master students are jointly selected by the ALGANT consortium on the basis of academic excellence and potential.
Candidates will be evaluated on their academic record, motivation and
recommendations letters.

Every autumn there is a call for admission to the programme and for scholarships. We will organize during the application period a meeting for interested students from Padova.
