Course descriptionALGANT is a two-year Erasmus Mundus Master Course inAlgebra, Geometry and Number Theory. The teaching staff arevery active in research and its students profit from the manyconnections which the consortia has established withresearch centres throughout the world.

Traditionally, number theory used algebra and analysis tosolve problems such as finding the number of integrals ofsolutions to equations. More recently, geometric methodshave been playing an increasingly important role. Numbertheory has also found important applications in areas such ascryptography, theoretical computer science, and numericalmathematics. The ALGANT course aims at introducingstudents to the latest developments in these fascinatingsubjects.

The consortium involves the universities of Bordeaux (France),Paris-Sud (France), Leiden (the Netherlands) and Padova

(Italy), which all offer very good study conditions. Classes donot exceed twenty students and professors have regular officehours when they can be contacted by students.

Candidates must possess an academic degree inmathematics, from an undergraduate programme lasting atleast three years (Bachelor). A thorough proficiency in Englishis required. In fact, students of the ALGANT Masters Coursemay choose to study their entire curriculum in English.A study programme will be tailored for each student

individually, but every student will attend at least twouniversities involved in the consortium.

Students who successfully complete the requirements of theALGANT programme will be well- equipped to pursue a careerin research or in the business world. They will be awardeda double masters degree composed of two nationally-recognised degrees issued by the two hosting institutions,completed by a diploma supplement.

The study programme of this Master course is broadlyinterdisciplinary, encompassing photonics, computer visionand imaging science, computer science and multimediatechnology as a mix of relevant theoretical and practicalknowledge. The objective is to educate students in advancedmethodologies and models in computational color sciencewith two goals of research orientation and further studies atthe doctoral level on one hand, and practical applications onthe other hand. CIMET offers three areas of specialization:Color Imaging Science, Spectral Color Science and MultimediaTechnology Science. These areas are being emergent, rapidlyevolving, and of growing impact on the Information SocietyTechnologies which require specialized competencies.

The first semester will be devoted to foundation coursesnecessary to students before beginning the twospecializations they will follow. Foundation courses will beproposed in any university of the consortium. The firstspecialisation, in the second semester, will be devoted tocompulsory courses in color imaging science necessary to

students before beginning the second specialization. It will bedone either in Granada or Saint Etienne. The secondspecialisation, in the third semester, will be done either in

Joensuu or Gjvik. Therefore, during the first three semesters,students will spend their Master Courses in either twouniversities or three universities. This arrangement leavesopen the possibility to visit during the Master thesis periodanother university of the consortium which will not deliver adegree. During one of the first three semesters, students willhave to follow courses on the culture and language of thevisited country.

Courses will be taught in English and are structured accordingto the ECTS with 120 credits run over four semesters of full-time study. Students will be awarded a double (or multiple)degree, at postgraduate-level (Msc of Science, 300 ECTS),from the two (or three) degree-granting Universities visited.The CIMET programme is intended for top level non-EU and EUstudents with a fluent knowledge in spoken and written

English (TOEFL 550). Thirty students will be integrated eachyear in this program, with a professor/student ratio close toone. Admission will be based on academic excellence.Applicants should have a BSc degree (i.e. 180 ECTS) in theEuropean LMD system, or equivalent, in computer science,physics or mathematics.
