Study programme 2014-2015

Teaching and training



 Training based on research

The UCL is a place for teaching and research. The research conducted in the field of Computer Science within the ICTEAM Institute is internationally recognized. Through the options of the Master's program, students benefit from this cutting-edge knowledge in the fields of

  • Artificial Intelligence,
  • Networking and Security
  • or Software Engineering and Systems Programming.

Beyond the mere acquisition of knowledge, training is based on a deep understanding of concepts, reflection and abstraction. These skills enable graduates to adapt quickly to the demands of employers. Furthermore, these studies can be extended to research activities and lead to a PhD.

Concepts to their application

The adaptability of graduates is further enhanced by the importance attributed to the application of concepts in the curriculum. It is inconceivable to master concepts at a theoretical level and not to be able to apply them while facing a practical problem. Therefore, the program contains many projects, assignments, a master’s thesis and the possibility to perform an internship.

International perspective

English is the language most widely used in business and in particular in the technical field. The Master's program is taught in English. It enables non English native students to acquire good skills both oral and written in this language. Furthermore, teaching in English enables to welcome and host foreign students in good conditions, while allowing them to be immersed in a French environment. It also expands the possibilities for exchange programs and joint degrees with well-known universities.

Offering a master's program in English is definitely a position with an international outlook.
