Each discipline represents a volume of work, corresponding to 30 hours of traditional classroom instruction.
– disciplines comprise 36 ECTS credits of the NURE master’s course in applied mathematics, including the disciplines listed below.
2.2. The second year of the program (Master 2):
– The second year of the program is held at the University of Limoges during the first semester in English. The second semester is an internship in a laboratory or company. Internships can take place in France or abroad.
Each university recognizes and approves loans received from the host organization.
ІІІ. STUDENT SELECTION PROCEDURE

4.2. They must pay the following registration fees:
– for the first year of study at NURE;
– for the second year of study at the University of Limoges (national registration fees with exemption from differential fees in the framework of the partnership).
V. INSPECTION AND DISCUSSION OF GRADING
5.1. Students of the first year of master’s studies pass online knowledge control in the form of interactive tests organized by the University of Limoges (exams, various works, oral exams using special technologies) under the same conditions as other students.
5.2. NURE controls online-measures to ensure fairness of the assessment of exam papers. The dates of knowledge testing for each exam are determined by the University of Limoges at the beginning of the year.

5.3 At the end of each semester, the University where the student is studying (in the first year of NURE and in the second year at the University of Limoges) discusses and provides or does not provide loans under the double diploma program. The diploma report is signed by the jury members of the University of Limoges who issue the diploma.
5.4. The presentation of the internship in the second year of the master’s program will be organized by the University of Limoges using video conferencing tools with the aim of attracting representatives of NURE (professors and international relations department of NURE) and providing the student with the opportunity to present their work where he/she completed the internship.
VI. ISSUE OF DIPLOMA
6.1. Each institution is responsible for issuing its own diploma:
At the University of Limoges:
– issue of a diploma – no later than 6 months after the announcement of its receipt;
