Objectives

MIASHS is a generalist training course with a scientific, multidisciplinary and professional focus.

  • Generalist: students can choose from a wide range of courses in economics, computer science, statistics, management or teaching professions (school professorships).

  • Scientific: mainly mathematics, statistics and computer science.

  • Multidisciplinary: economics, econometrics, sociology, law and marketing are an essential part of the training.

  • Professionalization: students gain professional experience as a statistical and data processing technician. The degree aims to give internships a prominent role (compulsory or recommended depending on the choice of pathway).

Skills

The skills acquired in these mathematics / statistics / computer science courses are as follows:

  • translating a simple problem into mathematical language;

  • building and writing a synthetic and rigorous mathematical proof;

  • applying the bases of probabilistic reasoning without difficulty;

  • implementing a statistical approach to data processing;

  • using digital reference tools to process information and collaborate internally and externally;

  • designing applications and algorithms from partial technical specifications;

  • analysing and interpreting the results produced by running a programme.

Course Content

The training respects the principle of progressive specialization.

Year 1 (L1) is common to all students. This first year offers classes in economics, sociology and law, enabling students to move towards one of the two pathways offered from year 2 (L2) onwards.

Years 2 and 3 (L2 and L3) are based on the following two pathways

  • Human and Social Sciences (Rennes 2)

  • Economics (Rennes 1).

Mathematics, statistics, computer science and language classes are shared by both pathways over the three years.
