EPITA is pleased to welcome international students to its Winter School 2027, taking place at our Paris campus from January 10 to January 23, 2027.
This two-week international program offers students the opportunity to combine academic learning with an immersive experience of French culture and life in Paris.
Choose Your Program
For the 2027 edition, students can choose between two programs:
Vibe Coding
Building Software with AI Rather Than Programming
Discover a new approach to software creation and explore how artificial intelligence is transforming the way applications are designed and developed.
The program focuses on the emerging phenomenon of Vibe Coding, where developers increasingly use AI tools to turn ideas into working software products.
Students will explore :
- How tools such as GitHub Copilot, Claude Code and Cursor can help transform an idea into a functional software product.
- The differences between AI-assisted development and traditional software development.
- The limitations and best practices associated with AI coding tools.
- The potential impact of generative AI on software development and the future role of developers.
Through lectures, workshops and hands-on activities, students will gain practical insights into current technological developments while experiencing Paris through cultural and business visits.
