Common Core Semester
The heart of this program is to provide graduates with a multidisciplinary and innovative training program. It combines the passion and innovation expected by businesses. Students have the chance to choose from the specializations listed below.
Multimedia & Information Technology
The objective of this specialization is to train “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.
Systems, Network & Security
The objective of this specialization is to master cybersecurity issues to thwart cyber threats. This specialization combines learning systems (design through administration), networks (existing and new generation) and cybersecurity (organizational and technical).
Embedded & Realtime Systems
The objective of this specialization is to deepen the knowledge systems to achieve excellence in controlling embedded environments and IoT, from both open source and proprietary software publishers.
Robotics/automation and an introduction to electronics are included in this specialization.
Telecommunications & Networks
The objective of this specialization is to train managers with strong technical skills for working in telecommunications, network security system architecture and infrastructure. Focus is on new use cases in mobility, collaboration, unified communication, telecommuting, Cloud applications, IoT and glocalization.
Information System & Software Engineering
The objective of this specialization is to train 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
Global IT Management
The objective of this specialization is to the preparation for business consulting and project management. Focus in on working in multicultural teams managing innovation, digital transformation, new economic models, disruptive technology in Big Data, Cloud Computing and Geomarketing.
Data Science & Artificial Intelligence
The objective of this specialization is to industrialize recent Artificial Intelligence research results in Data Analysis applications including Big Data, Data Science, recommendation of systems, images/speech pattern recognition and machine learning.
Image Processing
The objective of this specialization is to train students to design and master new tools for the treatment and synthesis of image processing. Students will acquire a theoretical background useful in developing new practical algorithms. The program is structured around two main axes. The first is image processing for extracting the features of objects in images, the restoration and denoising of images. The second is image description and synthesis, allowing the creation or recreation of scenes in 2D and 3D, to create virtual and augmented reality.
Research
The double-competency academic research major provides students with immersion in one of the EPITA laboratories. Students work with professor-researchers in addition to their chosen major. Research themes include the treatment of images, automation modelling, virtual reality and cybersecurity.
Internship
Our last educational period is organized around a 6-month company internship, culminating in a master’s thesis presented on-campus in front of the Graduate Committee. This required internship allows students to discover the latest technologies while gaining valuable experience. Feedback from the internship host companies has been overwhelmingly supportive of our programs.
Students of our Master of Engineering are paid between €1300 and €1700 per month during their internships.
