About this programme
Computer Science is one of the drivers of technological progress in all economic and social spheres. When you graduate with an MSc in Computer Science, you will be a specialist in at least one field of computer science, and you will have a wide-ranging expertise in scientific methods. Having completed this programme, you will be able to autonomously and comprehensively define computer science problems and their applications. You will also be able to structure them and build abstract models. Moreover, you will have the relevant knowledge to define and implement state-of-the-art solutions. Features A broad, international, and relevant selection of modules As a student, you will work on cutting-edge research projects Excellent enterprise relations maintained by the chairs and institutes Numerous partnerships with universities around the world Double-degree programmes with INSA Lyon, ENSIIE Evry-Paris, and SUP'COM Tunis and ENSI Tunis You will choose modules from the following five subject areas: 1) Algorithms and Mathematical Modelling 2) Programming and Software Systems 3) Information and Communication Systems 4) Intelligent Technical Systems 5) IT Security and Reliability 1) Algorithms and Mathematical Modelling (AlgMath): This module group teaches you about deterministic and stochastic algorithms and how they are implemented, evaluated, and optimised. You will acquire advanced knowledge of computer-based mathematical methods – particularly in the areas of algorithmic algebra and computational stochastics – as well as in-depth knowledge on mathematical modelling and complexity analysis of discrete and continuous problems. 2) The Programming and Software Systems (ProgSoft) subject area imparts modern methods for constructing large-scale software systems as well as creating and using software authoring, analysis, and optimisation tools. You will also consolidate your knowledge of various programming paradigms and languages. Moreover, you will explore the structure of language processing systems and learn to deal with parallelism in programme routines. 3) In the module group Information and Communication Systems (InfComm), you will study the interactions of the classic computer-science subjects of information systems and computer networks. This specialisation presents an answer to the problem of increasing volume and complexity of worldwide information distribution and networks as well as an answer to the growing requirements on quality and performance of computer communication. You will also learn how to transfer database results to multimedia data. 4) Intelligent Technical Systems (ITS): This module group teaches you the necessary knowledge in systems theory, machine learning and signal and image processing to explore the theory and practical application of intelligent, self-learning systems. 5) IT Security and Reliability (ITSecRel): This subject area is concerned with the security and reliability of IT systems, e.g. in hardware circuitry, communication protocols or complex, networked application systems. To ensure the secure operation of these systems, you will learn design methods, secure architectures, and technical implementation of the underlying components.
