Presentation
The ICo program offers a two-year general IT training course. It stands out from other IT master's programs in that it is aimed at students with a background in fields other than IT, offering them the opportunity to acquire the essential concepts needed to master today's digital challenges. Practical internships and modules related to project management complement the more fundamental IT courses offered by the program. The program targets two types of student profiles: (1) students who wish to acquire and enhance dual skills in emerging high value-added professions, or (2) students who are considering a career change and are aiming for more traditional positions in computer science.
For students wishing to obtain a joint IAE Master's degree in Technology and Science Management: there is the possibility (subject to application) of completing a management course alongside the initial training, leading to a Master's degree in Technology and Science Management. Over the two years of the program, the curriculum alternates between computer science courses (taught by the FdS) and management courses (taught by the IAE), with a joint internship validated by both components in the second year. This dual degree allows students to graduate with a Master's in Computer Science and a Master's in Technology and Science Management.

The second year (M2) can be completed on a work-study basis, through professional training or apprenticeship contracts. Work-study students become employees for the duration of their M2 (usually under contract from September 1 to August 31). The academic year is structured as follows: during the university course/tutorial/practical work period, work-study students attend the faculty to follow the courses; during university vacation periods and internships, work-study students are in the company (1 week in November, 2 weeks in December, and from the last week of January to August 31, which amounts to 8 months out of 12 in the company).
It should be noted here that a professional training or apprenticeship contract is a tripartite contract between the student, the company, and the university: the approval of the program director is required; their opinion is based on the student's academic results in the first year of the master's program and on the opinion of the program coordinators. Excellent results in the first year of the master's program are therefore expected in order to receive a favorable opinion for the work-study program.
