This Master's program, part of Université Paris Cité's Graduate School of Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, focuses on the core role of data in modern computer systems. It trains specialists in data science by linking Master's and PhD courses with advanced research laboratories, emphasizing interdisciplinarity. The program aims to equip students with the expertise to design and develop systems that efficiently manage and analyze large datasets. Students will gain a strong computer science foundation, enabling them to not only use existing tools but also contribute to the development of future Big Data architectures.
The program includes significant programming projects, with one project in the first year (M1) and many courses assessed based on project work. In the second year (M2), students can supplement mandatory courses and recommended electives with courses from other specializations within the M2 Computer Science program. A short internship is possible at the end of M1, and a mandatory 4-6 month internship concludes the M2 year.
Admission to both M1 and M2 is selective and based on a review of the applicant's file by an admissions committee. For M1, prior studies are assessed for compatibility, and capacity is limited. M2 admission is not automatic for students from other specializations.
International students should consult the university for specific tuition fee details for their status. Continuing education fees may differ.
The Master in Computer Science program, with a specialization in Data: Algorithms, Processing, and Analysis, is a 2-year program.
For M1, a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent is required, with good knowledge of databases, algorithms, and programming. For M2, successful completion of a Master 1 in Computer Science or equivalent is necessary, with very strong knowledge in databases, data processing, AI, and Big Data.
Adequate mastery of the French language is required for admission, as confirmed by a language level certificate.
International students (outside the EEA) must apply through 'Mon Master' for M1, 'eCandidat' for M2 or specific university routes, and also use the 'Campus France' platform.
Tuition fees are set annually by the ministry, and international students should consult the university for specific details relevant to their status.
