Master 2 IRFA - Curriculum

Students involved in the Master 2 IRFA program have their academic year divided into two parts:

• a first part (two trimesters) with courses: fundamental courses, specialization and advanced courses,
• a second part during which students either do an internship (or carry out academic research and write a Master's thesis).

​The Master can be done in alternance, in this case the  internship is replaced by a mission in a company, generally beginning in September.
Each student is admitted to the Master's program to follow one of the two majors:

• Engineering of Financial Mathematics,
• Risk and Insurance.

To obtain the degree, students need to validate:
- at first trimester, 5 fundamental courses of 18h (3 x 5 = 15 ECTS),
- at second trimester, 4 advanced courses of 18 h (4 x 2,5 = 10 ECTS),
- two courses of programming (2 x 3 = 6ECTS),
- one foreign language course (2 ECTS),
- one seminar of professional cases (3 ECTS),
- one course-project (3 ECTS),
 - a mission in alternance or an internship lasting at least 5 months (20 ECTS), and resulting in a report and a defense.
