What Département d'informatique | UFR math-info does

The UFR de mathématique et d'informatique (UFR Math-Info) is a constituent academic unit of the Université de Strasbourg, a French public university formed in its current structure in 2009 through the merger of three predecessor institutions (Strasbourg I, II, III). Headquartered at 7 rue René Descartes on the Esplanade campus in Strasbourg, the department delivers undergraduate (Licence), graduate (Master), and specialized programs in mathematics and computer science, including the Cursus Master en Ingénierie (CMI) engineering pathway, the Diplôme d'Université d'Actuariat de Strasbourg (DUAS), the elite MPA-Magistère track, and a Licence Professionnelle in network administration. Research and pedagogy activities are organized through the Institut de Recherche sur l'Enseignement des Mathématiques (IREM), founded in 1973, which operates the Rallye Mathématique d'Alsace (the oldest mathematical competition in France) and publishes the Annales de Didactique et de Sciences Cognitives journal.

The department's technology stack is entirely open-source — Linux, Apache, PHP, MySQL, and TYPO3 CMS — hosted on the Direction du numérique servers of the University of Strasbourg, with no proprietary commercial software platform. As a public institution under the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research, the UFR is funded through state allocations, nationally regulated tuition fees, continuing education and Diplôme d'Université programs, and corporate contributions via apprenticeship taxes (taxe d'apprentissage) and the DUAS partnership network with insurance and financial firms. The department serves four primary customer segments: prospective undergraduate students, graduate and professional students, in-service mathematics and computer science teachers, and corporate partners seeking specialized actuarial, IT, and mathematics talent pipelines.

Outreach and student recruitment are organized around Open Days (Journées Portes Ouvertes), high school engagement programs (Décodeuses d'informatique, NSI Week, MathC2+ stages), the annual Forum Étudiants-Entreprises career fair that connects 150+ students with companies, the IREM national teacher network, the podcast series "Les maths, en pratique!", and active social media presence on Facebook, Bluesky, and LinkedIn. International activity includes incoming and outgoing mobility partnerships with institutions in Luxembourg, Copenhagen, Belgrade, Berlin, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Freiburg, Hamburg, Munich, Oslo, Sofia, Stockholm, Vienna, Washington, and Zurich, plus UFAZ delocalized degree programs in Azerbaijan covering a Computer Science bachelor's degree and a Data Sciences and AI master's degree.
