Presentation
The ICo program offers a 2-year generalist course in computer science. It differs from the other courses in the Master's program in Computer Science, in that it is aimed at students with initial training other than in computer science, to enable them to acquire the concepts essential to mastering today's digital challenges. Practical internships and project management modules complement the more fundamental IT courses offered by the program. The program targets two types of student profile: (1) students wishing to acquire and develop dual skills in emerging, high value-added professions, or (2) students considering a career change and aiming for more traditional IT positions.
For students wishing to apply for the IAE Master in Technology and Science Management degree, the possibility is offered (subject to application) of taking a management course in parallel with the initial course, leading to a Master's degree in Technology and Science Management. Over the two years of the program, the curriculum alternates computer science courses (taught by the FdS) and management courses (taught by the IAE), with a joint internship validated by both departments in the second year. This co-diplomation enables students to exit with a Master's degree in Computer Science and a Master's degree in Technology and Science Management.

Open on a sandwich basis
Contract type | Apprenticeship contract, Professionalization contract |
|---|
The second year(M2) can be taken on a sandwich course, via a professionalization or apprenticeship contract. Alternating students become employees for the duration of their M2 (under contract, generally from September 1 to August 31). The academic year takes the following form: during the university 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 at the company (1 week in November, 2 weeks in December, and from the last week of January to August 31; making a company presence of 8 months out of 12).
It should be remembered that a professionalization or apprenticeship contract is a three-way contract between student/company/university: the approval of the department head is required; his or her opinion is based on the academic results of the M1 and the opinion of the course leaders. Excellent results in M1 are thus expected in order to obtain a favorable opinion on the sandwich course.
