Overview
This two-year, international, integrated master course in Algebra, Geometry and Number Theory (ALGANT), was first selected as an Erasmus Mundus Masters Course in 2004. The teaching staff is very active in research and the students will profit from the many connections it entertains with research centres throughout the world.
Traditionally number theory used the methods of algebra and analysis to solve problems such as
finding the number of integral of solutions of equations. In recent times geometric methods have been playing a more important role. Also, number theory has found important applications in areas such as cryptography, theoretical computer science, and numerical mathematics. The ALGANT course aims at introducing students to the latest developments of these fascinating subjects.
The consortium involves the universities of Bordeaux (France), Chennai (India), Leiden (The Netherlands), Milano (Italy), Montreal (Canada), Padova (Italy), Paris Sud (France) and Stellenbosch (South Africa), and it offers very good conditions of study. Classes will not exceed twenty students and professors have long office hours.
Target Candidates
The ALGANT Master course is open to all interested students in Europe and elsewhere. The European Union supports the course by financing about a ten scholarships for students outside the European Union, and five for European students. Other sources of funding are also available and tuition fees are kept at a very reasonable level.
Admission criteria
The ideal candidate must possess an academic degree from a program in mathematics lasting a minimum of three years (Bachelor). A thorough proficiency in English is required. In fact, every student of the ALGANT master will be offered the possibility to follow his entire curriculum in English. For each student a program will be tailored individually, but every student will have to go through at least two hosting institutions of the consortium.
Applicants should:
•have completed a Bachelor of science degree in Mathematics or equivalent, with good results;
•have a thorough proficiency in written and spoken English.
ALGANT Master Scholarship
This depends on the scholarship category you are eligible for.
Category A scholarship
For each student the scholarship amounts to 16.000 Euros per academic year. This includes 12 monthly grants of 1.000 Euros and a fixed amount of 4.000 Euros for fees, travel expenses, relocation costs, etc. Since our courses last two years, the student receives double this amount, i.e. 32.000 Euros.
Category B scholarship
For each student the scholarship amounts between 6.000 and 9.000 Euros per academic year (depending on the choices of mobility). This includes 12 monthly grants of 500 Euros and a fixed amount of 3.000 Euros (if you go for a mobility in a third country Partner University) for fees, travel expenses, relocation costs, etc. Since our courses last two years, the student receives for the whole Master 12.000 or 15.000 Euros.
Application procedure
Starting from 2010, ALGANT applications are paper-free and joint for all categories of applicants (A, B or C). The applicant must register at the application website and fill the application form available on this site, uploading the documents required therein. Among the latter:
•scanned copies of all academic records of all courses taken at every institute of higher education attended, with a translation in English, or French, Italian or Dutch;
•a copy of the highest degree obtained, stating credits, grades and workload;
•a detailed curriculum vitae;
•a personal letter of motivation explaining the student's interest in the ALGANT Master Course in particular and mathematics in general;
•any other documents characterizing applicant's credentials, like research memoirs, mathematical competitions diplomas, etc.
In the application form the applicant should indicate e-mail addresses of two or more academic staff members, who will be contacted by us for reference letters.
In individual cases the consortium’s commission will decide whether any exceptional circumstances, compensations or alternatives should allow for deviation from the admission criteria above, or for the absence of some of the documents required. Students should always contact the ALGANT office when there is any doubt.
The application deadline is January 14 for all categories of applicants.
