   Master in informatics (At the bottom of the page, click on the semester you are interested in for a detailed description of each course).

   2 years (M1, M2) = 3 semesters of courses + 6 months of internship in a company or research

   3 different pathways: software engineering (ILSEN), security and networks (SICOM), artificial intelligence (AI)

   Most master's modules ("UEs") are made up of several course units ("UCEs"). Each course unit is allocated ECTS credits and can be chosen independently of the others.

   You can take a bachelor's or master's degree course. It is theoretically possible to take a mix of 2 or 3 courses years and/or course differentbut this is not not recommended because the timetables are often incompatible. The timetables are only known at the beginning of September for the autumn semester and in January for the spring semester.

   Lhe courses are taught in French. You must have at least minimum the B1 level in French to be able to follow the courses and take the exams in good conditions (but the B2 level is recommended).

   If you do not have a sufficient level of French, some courses from Licence and especially of Master can be arranged and supervised in English (course documents, exercises and practical work, examinations, etc.). For students of master level (or end of licence in some cases), it is also possible under certain conditions to do a project research single (15 ECTS credits) or double (30 cr.) in English. If you are interested, please send us a message several months in advance specifying the research areas that you would like to work on, together with your CV and transcripts.

   You can also choose 1 or 2 optional courses called " WEU "Each WEU = 2 credits per semester (French for exchange students, sports or cultural activities, etc.). Each WEU = 2 credits.
