Programs

Graduate courses in mathematics

As a graduate student in the département de mathématiques et de statistique, you must take certain courses. To this end, our Department offers several graduate courses. In addition, it is possible to take graduate-level courses at other Montreal universities. A non-exhaustive list of such courses is available on the website of the Institute of Mathematical Sciences. In order to register for a course outside UdeM, you must apply for an inter-university transfer authorization (AEHE). Please note that if our Department offers a course equivalent to a course elsewhere, you must choose the former. Finally, if you are a master's student, it is possible to take some undergraduate courses with the approval of the program director.

Specific requirements

Below is a brief description of the course requirements for each program. For a more detailed discussion, please see the practical guide of the master's program or the practical guide of the doctoral program, as applicable.

Notes.

It is possible to take additional credits to those required by your program as "cours en surplus". Your choices must be declared in your plan global d’études and approved by your research director and by the director of the graduate studies in mathematics.
You must complete all course requirements while being registered as a full-time student. However, it is possible to take a single course required from your program structure or a “cours en surplus” during your first term of being registered "en redaction”.

Courses in French as a second language

A full-time registered international student, whose mother tongue is not French, can take part-time courses in French as a second, offered in the evenings or on Saturdays. To register for such a course, students must first register for a placement test. Then, upon receipt of an email confirming their level of oral and written French, they can register for a French course through their department by contacting their graduate studies secretary (TGDE). The course fees will be listed on the same invoice as the tuition fees for the study program. Additional fees of $25 per credit (or $75 for a 45-hour part-time course) are billed by the Faculty of Continuing Education (FEP).

For more details on French courses as well as on how to register, visit the website of the école de langues.

Winter	June 1
Fall	February 1

Preparatory steps

Make sure you meet all the eligibility requirements for the master's or doctoral program, as applicable. Please also verify that your diplomas meet the formal requirements of the Université de Montréal.
Consult the research axes of our department and contact the professors whose research interests you.
Find out about the available financial support.
If you are an international student, visit the website of the Office of International Students (BEI) for useful information.
If you are applying for a fast-track admission to the doctoral program, inform yourself about the additional steps that you need to follow.
If you want to do a joint PhD between the Université de Montréal and another institution, inform yourself of the procedure to follow.

Procedure for submitting an admission request

Complete the Université de Montréal admission form. (Contrary to what the ESP website states, the deadline for submitting an application for admission in the winter semester is June 1 for the master's and doctoral programs in mathematics.)
Complete the form on research experiences and interests of the département de mathématiques et de statistique.
Obtain a copy of your official transcript* as well as a copy of the official diploma parchment or document.
Ask two referees to provide letters of recommendation (sent directly by them through the ESP system as explained here). We prefer that the referees do not use the special ESP format for their letter but write it in free format.
Upload your entire admission file to your Student Center. Following the problems with the Covid-19 pandemic, documents should not be sent by post.

^*If it is too early for you to submit your final grades, you must send in the partial grades that you have received and then complete your application as soon as possible once you have your final grades.

- Un exemplaire officiel du diplôme
- Une lettre de motivation
- Deux lettres de recommandation
- Un document officiel d’identité (incluant les noms complets de vos parents)
