Bachelor in Licence - Mathématiques

Mathematics — Licence Mathématiques — is a three-year bachelor-level degree offered in French at the Université de Tours (37) in Tours, France, beginning in September. Yearly tuition is 178 EUR. Mathematics at degree level covers the principal branches of pure and applied mathematics, developing rigour, abstraction, and problem-solving ability. Students typically study analysis, algebra, geometry, probability and statistics, and numerical methods, progressing from foundational notions to more advanced theoretical territory as the programme advances. A core emphasis of the Licence is mathematical proof: students learn to construct and write rigorous arguments and to reason precisely from axioms and definitions. Linear algebra and real analysis form the backbone of the first year, with later courses introducing topology, differential equations, group theory, and discrete mathematics. Applied modules may address mathematical modelling, optimisation, or the theory of algorithms. Throughout the programme, students develop precision of thought and the ability to communicate complex reasoning in written and oral form. Instruction is entirely in French. The Licence Mathématiques prepares graduates for careers in insurance and actuarial science, finance, data analysis, software development, cryptography, and secondary education. Many continue to master-level programmes in pure mathematics, statistics, data science, or financial mathematics. The three-year degree provides the formal and analytical foundation required wherever precise quantitative reasoning is essential.
