The lectures will start on Monday, September 15 at 12:45.

There will be a Christmas break from December 20 2014 until January 4, 2015 (bounds included). There is no other break.

The M2 lectures are divided in two periods of 10 weeks, each period is followed by 2 weeks of examinations.

  • From September 15 2014 until November 22 2014 : first lecture period.
  • From November 24, 2014 until December 5, 2014 : final or mid-term exams.
  • From December 8, 2014 until February 28, 2015 : second lecture period.
  • From March 2, 2015 until March 13, 2015 : exams.

M2 lectures take place in Batiment Sophie Germain

Research internships last 4.5 months (at least) and may start from March 16, 2014. Internships are typically defended the first week of September.

Summary of some deadlines

  • Sep. 30: submission of a module selection
  • Nov. 15: canceling registration to 1st period modules
  • Jan. 15: canceling registration to 2nd period modules
  • Jan. 31: submission of an internship choice
  • Apr. 30: retaking exams requests
  • Jul. 31: retaking exams
  • Aug. 21: internship reports upload

2014-2015 SCHEDULE M2-MPRI COURSES

All courses take place in rooms located in building Sophie Germain.

The schedule specifies whether the course is taught in period 1, period 2, or both periods (1-2).

Slots last 3 hours with default starting time: 8:45 in the morning, 12:45 at midday, and 16:15 in the evening.

Unless announced otherwise on the page of the course, courses that last 2.5 hours start at the beginning of the slot.

For a course that lasts 1.5 hours, the last column mentions whether it starts in the middle of the slot (10:15, 14:30, 17:45).
