Students with a strong background in engineering are strongly encouraged to apply as today's highly competitive world prizes postgraduate degrees. Candidates with a degree in business and first-hand experience with IT are best suited for the Information Systems Management Master program. The International Engineering Masters program is organized in three clearly differentiated academic periods: the fundamentals, the specialization and the professional training periods.
Harmonization Semester*
Students with a passion for IT and an informal experience with the discipline, who are choosing a change of field when applying to EPITA, will begin the program with the Harmonization Semester during which they will acquire basic IT academic blocks to build upon in the Fundamental Period.
*Enrolment in the Harmonization Semester is decided on an individual basis.
Fundamentals
The fundamentals period of the Master program aims at giving our students sound technical knowledge both toward their specialization in engineering. Our thorough fundamentals also introduce students and know-how procedures within company operations. This 5-month period is common to all three specializations of our International Master in Computer Science, which gives students a chance to build strong collegiality from the get go.
Specialization
The central purpose of the specialization period of the Master Program is to enable our students to enter the job market at the executive level directly upon graduation. At this time, each student specializes according to the chosen career track in order to graduate with an advanced background suited to the industrial sector. The professional profile of our students is built progressively through a series of increasingly specialized academic periods, which structure the area of focus:
- a common core curriculum period (1� month) shared by all the specializations within the same training cycle
- the specialization period (3� months) which is specific.
Professional Training
This last semester is organized around a 6-month company-based internship, culminating in a Master's Thesis to be defended on campus.
