The option does not allow the students to anticipate courses that are normally present in the Computer Science Masters program.

 

Most of the activities proposed in this option are focused on the use of information technology to address the organizational needs of enterprises. A variety of themes are addressed such as the place of information systems in enterprises, project management taking account the non-technical needs of enterprises, human-computer interaction, …
