The Master of Computer Engineering program offers students a broad vision of the real-world business challenges and the IT solutions to respond to them.

The program gives students a solid technical base, and improves their skills not only in software engineering, but also in consulting and management. It also develops their awareness of data science and cyber security issues. This program helps students to be become versatile and allows them to work in a large number of areas, both technical and functional.

EPITA is one of the French Grandes Écoles, and delivers to the graduates of this program the an Engineering Degree (“Titre d’ingénieur” in French), a national diploma of master in engineering accredited by the Commission des Titres d’Ingenieurs (CTI). This government-accredited degree is internationally recognized for its quality training that combines the best of engineering and management.

Program
Structure

The program consist of 4 semesters, 3 on campus and 1 semester in a company in the form of an internship. To obtain their degree, students must acquire 120 ECTS (European Credits Transfer Systems) over two years and the French B2 level.

The first semester is taught totally in English. For the second and the third semester, students can choose an English-taught or French-taught specialization. To attend the latter option, student should obtain at least a B1 level in French. Students can always switch back to the MSc (Master of Science) programs after validating the first semester (Harmonization) in case their French language level is not sufficient.

Semester 2 (S2) & Semester 3 (S3) – Specialization

This period includes:

  • A common core curriculum period shared by all students within the same cohort. The purpose of the common core is to provide students a deep knowledge of advanced management and engineering science, business exposure. Students pursuing the specializations should share such skills to start their career smoothly and efficiently.
  • the specialization period, which allows students to acquire an expertise in one of 16 specializations.

Each semester consists of 450 hours of classes.

Global IT Management (EN)

This specialization prepares students for business consulting and project management. Students learn how to work in multicultural teams while managing innovation, digital transformation, new economic models, disruptive technology in Big Data, Cloud Computing and Geo-marketing.

Consulting and Innovation (FR)

This specialization trains IT and innovation consultants to tackle complex problems of public and private companies, promoting students’ autonomy and involvement through real projects, using a rigorous methodology on the one hand, and initiative and responsibility on the other.

Entrepreneurship (FR)

This specialization trains the next generation of engineer-entrepreneurs in the field of technology. Focusing on Product Management, this unique course offers an integrated approach to acquiring technical competencies and soft skills. The program is enriched by a variety of specialized courses and practical projects to prepare students for a career focused on innovation, disruption and value creation in the entrepreneurial landscape.

Information System & Software Engineering (FR)

This specialization trains engineers in information systems and software engineering to be leaders in transforming companies deploying new scalable IT systems aligned with business needs. The curriculum is developed along 4 main axes:

  • Leadership and Management
  • Cloud and Architecture
  • Mobility and Application
  • Digitalization and Transformation
Cybersecurity & Systems (FR)

This specialization allows students to master cybersecurity issues to thwart cyber threats, combining learning systems (design through administration), networks (existing and new generation) and cybersecurity (organizational and technical).

Embedded Systems (FR)

The specialization equips students with the capacity to design and develop software platforms for use by other specialists. Operating systems, embedded and mission-critical software provide the support on which application engineers will work. Numerous outlets in industry and software publishers offer positions of technical excellence in the service of operations.

Telecommunications & Networks (FR)

This specialization equip managers with strong technical skills in the field of telecommunications, network security system architecture and infrastructure. Emphasis is laid on new use cases in mobility, collaboration, unified communication, telecommuting, Cloud applications, IoT and globalization.

Data Science & Artificial Intelligence (FR)

This specialization industrializes recent Artificial Intelligence research results in Data Analysis applications including data engineering, MLOps, big data and GPU computing.Students can specialize in computer vision, natural language processing or graphs.

Multimedia & New Communications (FR)

This specialization is to nurtures “Digital Leaders”, who can innovate, propose new content, new use cases, new services, either open source or those of the big software developers such as Microsoft, Adobe and Google.

Graduates from this specialization can integrate into all economic sectors as architects of new services or drivers of innovative projects, with technological rigor and human factor management.

Quantum Computing and Technologies (FR)

Quantum technologies are a revolutionary advance in comuter science. Quantum computers have the potential to solve extremely complex problems much faster than conventional computers, revolutionizing fields such as cryptography, molecular modeling and Artificial Intelligence research. Graduates of this specialization will be well placed to shape the future of technology and provide solutions to the complex challenges of an increasingly quantum-driven world.
