​Master 2 MMMEF: Modélisation et Méthodes Mathématiques en Economie et Finance


​A Master 2 program in Paris city center

The Master 2 MMMEF (Modélisation et Méthodes Mathématiques en Economie et Finance) is a Master's program delivered at Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne. With a wide variety of courses, all taught in English, the program aims at training high level specialists in financial mathematics, financial engineering, mathematical economics, game theory, optimization, control theory, and operations research.
The program is divided into 4 tracks (see below) which are interrelated in terms of (i) the mathematical tools and concepts involved, and (ii) practical applications in the industry.
The courses cover a large range of mathematical techniques going from classical analysis, to probability, to optimization, to decision making, and cover both theoretical aspects and practical applications to economics, finance and operations research.

Four tracks
​

Mathematical Economics, Games and Decision

The "Mathematical Economics, Games and Decision" track provides high-level academic knowledge in mathematical economics, game theory, and decision theory. "Mathematical Economics, Games and Decision" graduates often start their career in economic institutions or in the banking industry. They can also apply for a PhD program at Paris 1 or anywhere in the world.

Economics, Finance and Games

The "Economics, Finance and Games" track provides high-level academic knowledge in mathematical economics,  finance and game theory. This track is dedicated to students willing to be taught the quantitative tools of finance and economics without diving into the most advanced aspects of stochastic calculus. Graduates often start their career in the banking industry.

Quantitative Finance

The "Quantitative Finance" track is dedicated to students who wish to be taught high-level knowledge in stochastic calculus and financial modeling. "Quantitative Finance" graduates often start their career in investment banks, asset management companies, or in consulting firms. They can also apply for a PhD program at Paris 1 or anywhere in the world.

Optimization and Control

The "Optimization and Control" track is dedicated to students who wish to be taught high-level mathematical knowledge in optimization, control theory, and operations research. "Optimization and Control" graduates often start their career with quantitative positions in services industries. They can also apply for a PhD program at Paris 1 or anywhere in the world.

Living as a Master 2 MMMEF student
​
Almost all courses of the Master 2 MMMEF take place at Maison des Sciences Economiques, in inner Paris.
The program starts with a two-trimester period of courses. Students can then start an internship or carry out academic research and write a Master's thesis.
