Why study maths at École nationale des ponts et chaussées?
Martin Chaya (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid)
The PAMS program has been an amazing opportunity for my academic training. I particularly enjoyed the possibility to develop a project with a tutor supervising me individually, which was a really pleasing and enriching experience. What stood out the most to me is the adaptability of the program. In order to help me choose the courses that best suited me, teachers in the PAMS program asked me about my background and future interests, in order to build a program really personalized to my needs.

I am very pleased I decided to attend the applied mathematics programme at École nationale des ponts et chaussées, both because of the great variety of courses available in multiple departments, and because of the great focus on practical applications of mathematical theories. Moreover, the attention on the creation of personalised academic curricula depending on one's previous experiences is truly remarkable.

École nationale des ponts et chaussées has incredible facilities such as the sports courts, the library... and its spectacular facade! Professors are really close to students (they help you with any problem you have, whether for a scholarship or for an exercise you don't understand!). I had various opportunities to discuss my choices of course, and they were adapted to
my previous training, which was very helpful.
