The objective of the Information Sciences Master’s program is to train industrial or research professionals to master the theoretical foundations of IT, and the various concepts and tools implemented in today’s IT systems.

Data sciences needs in the decade to come will be significant: the need for data scientists is felt in key individual fields (information searches, education, culture, social networks), scientific fields (e-science), social fields (healthcare, education, e-government), and economics (industrial production, advertising, sales).

The success and relevance of these applications rely on the development of innovative methods that enable us to exploit huge volumes of diverse and unstructured data (Big Data). Studying this subject opens doors for students in executive and senior executive IT career roles in industrial and service sectors, or careers in research and R&D, in managing data in universities, public or private research organizations, large companies and start-ups.

All the courses are taught in English, and are based on the Erasmus Mundus IT4BI Master (Information Technologies for Business Intelligence). The cursus offered covers the following Teaching Units (UE):

  • 4 UE for scientific and technological courses (5 ECTS per UE) 

    • Semantic Technologies

    • Exploration of data and training

    • Analytic visualization

    • Modeling for decisional aids

  • 1 UE for the introduction to innovation and research (5 ECTS)

  • 1 UE for French language and European culture (5 ECTS)

  • 1 UE for R&D project (Internship) (30 ECTS)

For foreign national applicants (outside of the European Union and European Economic Area (EEA), Switzerland, Monaco or Andorra):

Consult the consular authorities concurrently to find out the procedures for obtaining your student visa. Depending on which country you are from, some authorities may ask you to use the CampusFrance facility.

The CampusFrance procedure must be followed concurrently with submission of your application to your choice of study program on the Université Paris-Saclay platform: https://apply-tc.ecp.fr/

International mobility grant (IdEx Paris-Saclay)

The IdEx Paris-Saclay project, of which CentraleSupélec is a partner, aims to promote international openness to master’s-level training programs provided by partner institutions, and to facilitate access for high-level international students wishing to develop a research training project up to doctoral level.

As such, for each university academic year, a one-year grant will be granted (for candidates accepted into the 2nd year of a Master’s degree), which can be renewed (for candidates admitted into the 1st year of a Master’s degree subject to obtaining successful results), to international students, to fund their completion of a Master’s degree with CentraleSupélec.

Applicants must first submit an application online (Application section). The person in charge of the training selects, from among the admitted, candidates to whom he will propose to apply for this scholarship. Each selected candidate will then be informed by e-mail so that they can complete their application for the scholarship; He must in particular provide the email address of two referrers who must complete their recommendations online before the deadline specified in website of  University Paris-Saclay.

Career opportunities

Doctorate or R&D teams, either in major groups or in innovative SMEs. From the industrial point of view, the ever-increasing quantity of data, the rapid and complex changes in the economy and the emerging tendency to incorporate unstructured data in analytical processes bring new challenges to the field of decisional computing. Academically, new research opportunities are created by the recent development in users’ requirements and concern the management of structured data and unstructured content (analysis of documents, personalization and recommendation, graph databases, composition of knowledge bases, mapping company data, etc.).
