MPRI

Level 2 modules

Level 2 modules offer a specialised training constitutive of a true introduction to research; they require a good knowledge of the contents of the level 1 modules. Each level 2 full module is taught over the course of a semester, represents 75 student-hours (typically 50 contact hours and 25 hours of private study), and entitles students to 6 ECTS credits. Half modules are taught either 1.5h/week over the course of the semester or 3h/week over half the semester. Each such module represents 37.5 student-hours and entitles students to 3 ECTS credits.

At least twenty level 2 modules will be made available for the first semester exclusively. The MPRI's Executive Committee will set a list of level 2 modules each year; the modules thus selected will of course only be actually maintained if they attract a sufficient number of students. The level 2 modules will be taught preferably on the premises of the university of Paris 7. The table herebelow contains a list of titles and heads of level 2 modules as well as links to a description of each module.

Semantics of the teaching languages annotations:

“English upon request” means that the module will be taught in French, unless one non-French speaking student requests English
“French by Default” means that the module is taught in French, unless at least one non-French speaking student requests English and no French speaking students requests French
“English by Default” is obtained by transposing “French” and “English” in the above case.
“English” (resp. “French”) means that the module will be taught in English (resp. French) independently of the students attending. Most of the time, however, some of the teaching material is available in French (resp. English)

For a more detailed information on the teaching language of each module, as well as concerning the language of the exams, please look at the web page of the module.
