Study programme 2014-2015

Teaching and training




The Master in Computer Science programme includes:
  • core courses, mainly the master's thesis (38 ECTS credits);
  • focus, mandatory courses (30 ECTS credits);
  • one or more options to specialize in one computer science domain (20 to 52 ECTS credits),
  • some optional courses (0 to 52 ECTS credits).

A master's thesis is conducted during the last year. On the other hand, as long as it suits his/her educational project and the prerequisites are respected, courses can be placed at will by the student in the first or second year. This is particularly true in the case of a student carrying out part of his studies abroad. Consequently, the years to which activities are assigned in the detailed programme are only indicative.

In addition, the student with a coherent project has the potential to open widely his training to non-technical disciplines through elective courses.


Whatever the focus or the options chosen, the programme of this master shall totalize 120 credits, spread over two years of studies each of 60 credits.
