Presentation
The Master's in Computer Science is structured into five clearly identified courses with undifferentiated research and professional goals. These five tracks aim to train computer science managers with skills in architecture, software and information systems design, data management and exploitation, modeling and combinatorial optimization, web and network technologies, image processing, especially 3D, and language and natural language processing. These five courses are : Algo (Algorithms), GL (Software Engineering), Imagine (Image and Video Games), IASD (Artificial Intelligence and Data Science), ICo (Competency Integration).
For students who have validated a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science with the CMI label (Cursus Master Ingénierie), it is possible to follow the CMI curriculum in the Algorithmics (Algo), Software Engineering (GL), Imagine (Imagine) and Artificial Intelligence and Data Science (IASD) courses. As a reminder, the Master's Degree in Computer Science Engineering is a demanding and reinforced 5-year program that completes the Bachelor's - Master's Degree in Computer Science program by adding specific courses. The CMI has been developed as a complementary model for training in engineering professions through a five-year diploma course leading to a Master's degree in Engineering, corresponding to the international Master of Engineering model. This CMI label guarantees a coherent and demanding university training program for the profession of expert engineer. Upon completion of the CMI Informatique, graduates obtain a Master of Management from the Institut d'Administration des Entreprises (IAE), the Figure network label, as well as a university diploma (D.U.) for the Master of Engineering - Computer Science program. The CMI Computer Science is open to Master 2 students on a sandwich basis.
For students wishing to co-diploma IAE Master Management of Technology and Science: possibility offered (on file) to achieve in parallel with the initial training a management training giving the degree of Master in Management of Technology and Science. Over the two years of training, the curriculum alternates courses in computer science (taught by the FdS) and management (taught by the IAE) with a common internship validated by both components in the second year. This co-diplomation allows students to exit with the master Computer Science and the master Management of Technologies and Sciences.
Objectives
- Algo (Algorithmics)
This course provides students with a deep understanding of the discipline, combined with more specialized know-how in algorithms, operations research, or theoretical computer science. - GL course (Software Engineering)
This course is located in the field of software engineering and proposes in particular a training which is interested in the automation of the stages of the software life cycle while ensuring the quality of the software product, from the design to the maintenance while passing by the compilation and the optimization of the code and the test. - Imagine course (image and video games)
This course aims to train engineers and researchers specializing in image and vision industries and laboratories, computer graphics, virtual and augmented reality, video games and interactive simulation. - IASD course (Artificial Intelligence and Data Science)

Alternation methods
The second year(M2) can be done on a sandwich basis, via professionalization or apprenticeship contracts. The alternating student becomes an employee for the duration of his or her M2 (under contract generally from September 1 to August 31). The academic year takes the following form: during the course/TD/TP period, the alternating student is at the faculty to follow the courses; during the university vacation and internship periods, the alternating student is in the company (1 week in November, 2 weeks in December, and from the last week of January to August 31; this makes a presence in the company of 8 months out of 12).
We remind you here that a professionalization or apprenticeship contract is a tripartite contract between student, company and university: the agreement of the head of the program is necessary; his opinion is based on the academic results of the M1 and on the opinion of the course leaders. Thus, excellent results in M1 are expected in order to have a favorable opinion on the alternation.
Internships, tutored projects
Internship | Mandatory |
|---|---|
Duration of the course | 5 |
