Master's degree in Applied Mathematics, Statistics, Course: Applied Mathematics and Social Sciences - Population Analysis (MASS POP)

Statistics: Exploratory Statistics, Surveying, Linear and Logistic Regression, Time Series, Textual Statistics (optional)

Computer science: statistical software R and SAS, Visual Basic, computer tools for data collection (optional)

Humanities and Social Sciences: Quantitative approaches, Demography, Economics (optional).

The link between the different courses is made by a supervised research project (TER accompanied by an internship) which is one of the strong points of the first year.

-the implementation of a multidisciplinary research approach

-Design and implementation of adapted methods for the collection, processing and analysis of quantitative, qualitative and textual data using statistical software

-data modeling and mastery of statistical tools for decision support

-the readability of complex data

-taking into account social, spatial and temporal dimensions and their interactions

-mastery of theoretical frameworks of interpretation

The M1 MASS POP leads naturally to the M2 MASS POP "Population Analysis: Exploration, Modeling, Forecasting.

The versatile training of the M1 MASS master also allows a varied choice of further studies in other M2 MASS masters as well as in M2 masters specialized in Statistics or Social Sciences. There are also possibilities of admission on title in engineering schools such as: ENSAI, ENSAE, ISUP.

1 option to be chosen* among :

• Quantitative approach in economics (24h, 3 ECTS)
• Statistical analysis of textual data (24h, 3 ECTS)
• Computer science: online forms (24h, 3 ECTS)

(*) The opening of the options will depend on the students' choices and the availability of the lecturers.

There is no automatic admission to M1. All students wishing to enter the program must apply. Applications will be examined by the teaching staff. Candidates whose applications are pre-selected will generally be invited to an interview.

The public concerned by the M1 MASS POP includes

• MIASH graduates or equivalent

• Graduates in Mathematics interested in the Social Sciences

• Graduates in SHS or Economics strongly motivated by statistics and computer science

Depending on your situation, you must use the e-candidatapplication or Campus France. You will find here the instructions for the e-candidat system and assistance for e-candidat.

On e-candidat you must select the Master Applied Mathematics, Statistics, of which MASS POP is one of the three tracks. You must choose your preference between the three courses. Be careful, this choice is very important, the applications with the MASS POP course in choice 1 are examined in priority by the teaching team of the course.

ATTENTION TO THE DATES:

If you apply via e-candidat, you must create your application between April 4, 2022 and May 27, 2022, with a deadline for finalizing your file until May 30, 2022 . You will receive the notice of acceptance or refusal or placement on the complementary list on June 10 at the latest (and much earlier if you applied early). If the answer is positive, you will have to confirm your registration in the Master's program before June 30, 2022. If you are on the complementary list, you will be called as soon as places become available if students with a favorable opinion withdraw.

If you apply via Campus-France, the deadline for application is January 1, 2022. You will receive your acceptance or rejection notice by April 30 at the latest. If the answer is positive, you will have to confirm your registration in the Master's program before June 15, 2022.

We advise you not to wait until the last moment to submit your application. Apply well before the deadline, even if you do not yet have your last transcripts. Moreover, complete applications are examined in chronological order of arrival on ecandidat, and the maximum number of applicants is limited, so it is better to apply early!

Precision on admission: Your file is examined by the MASS POP course pedagogical team, which may decide to give rise to an interview. The pedagogical team transmits its opinion to the University's pedagogical commission.

On September 21, 2021, the Board of Directors of Aix-Marseille University approved the implementation of a partial exemption from differential registration fees for the 2022/2023 academic year.

Consequently, as of the 2022/2023 academic year, an automatic partial exemption from the differentiated registration fees will be applied to all students subject to the differentiated fees who are registered for a national diploma and who are not repeaters* and are nationals of the countries listed below.
