Master Mathematiques — Modélisation et Analyse Numérique (MANU)

Tuition fees are 292 USD per year.

Universite de Montpellier offers this master's program in Mathematiques with a track in Modelisation et Analyse Numerique, abbreviated MANU, or modeling and numerical analysis. Mathematics covers the study of structures, quantities, and patterns, and a numerical analysis specialization concentrates on the methods used to approximate and solve mathematical problems that cannot be handled by exact analytical solutions alone. Typical subjects in a program of this kind include differential equations, numerical methods, scientific computing, mathematical modeling, and programming, often applied to problems arising in physics, engineering, or other sciences. Students generally learn how to translate real-world phenomena into mathematical models and then design or apply algorithms to compute approximate solutions, along with assessing the accuracy and stability of those methods. Coursework typically balances theoretical foundations in analysis with practical training in scientific computing tools and software used to implement numerical algorithms. Career directions linked to this field include roles as a research engineer, numerical analyst, or scientific computing specialist in sectors such as aerospace, energy, industry, and research institutions, as well as positions in software development for scientific or engineering applications. Some graduates pursue doctoral study in applied mathematics or numerical analysis. This is a two-year master's program taught in French, based in Montpellier, France, with a start date inferred as September and yearly tuition of 250 EUR. Applicants generally need a strong mathematical background, particularly in analysis and differential equations, along with an interest in computational problem-solving. Modeling and numerical analysis programs prepare graduates for work at the interface between pure mathematics and the practical demands of scientific and industrial computation.
