  experience in the European Union

Bordeaux

• Special funds have been reserved to enforce the
  programme
• (scholarships available)

Choosing mathematics studies in France

• Among 44 Fields medals, 11 have been awarded to
  mathematicians in France(Laurent Lafforgue in
  2002, Wendelin Werner in 2006)
• A strong mathematics tradition in France Paris,
  the worlds leading center for mathematics

Choosing mathematics studies in France

• New fields of application for mathematics such as
  meteorology, epidemiology and stochastic
  theories, cryptography and coding theory
• Today one out of every three PhD dissertations in
  fundamental and applied sciences in France is
  defended by a foreign student
