international master at epita

Born in 1984, EPITA (from the French

Ecole pour l’Informatique et les Techniques

Avancées : School of Computer Science &

Advanced Techniques) has been steadily

gaining a reputation of excellence among

multinational companies, which often recruit

our students before the end of their studies.

At EPITA, computing and information techno-

logies are considered fundamental subjects

and are always placed in the context of

accreditations & affiliations

The International Master of EPITA is

accredited by the French Ministry of Higher

Education and Research (Ministère de l’En-

seignement Supérieur et de la Recherche)

as a National Master’s Degree called

Diplôme National de Master (DNM).

Graduates obtain a « Master en Sciences et

Technologies, mention Informatique ».

This distinction is the highest accreditation

students’ future managerial roles and within

the perspective of their position of responsibi-

lity. Scientifi c studies complement this

training to broaden and complete the

scientifi c culture vital to the future Engineer.

The aim of the International Master Program

at EPITA is to instill in its students the best

management practices within the fi eld of

Computer Science Engineering. Each student

should have a solid basis in fundamental

Engineering concepts (unless they begin

at the Harmonization Semester level) and

in those additional skills essential for clarity

and accuracy in situation analysis and

problem solving in the IT business world.

possible granted by the French State. It gua-

rantees the quality of the education delivered

(content and professors) as well as the overall

integration of the students within both local

and national communities. The creation of

the European Higher Education Area started

with the Bologna Process guarantees the

European Recognition of this Degree.

EPITA (Ecole pour l’Informatique et les

Techniques Avancées) is a member of IONIS

LEARNING THROUGH PROJECTS

Mastering a vocation is above all succeeding

in owing the operational practices by going

beyond the basic-level theoretical

knowledge acquired. Our International

Master emphasizes the acquisition

of concrete know-how through a learning

process centered on projects which

are characterized by:

• Balance between advanced academic core

courses & professional projects

• Strong emphasis on teamwork

• Predominantly project-based evaluations

• Completion of Research & Innovation

Project during the specialization semester

During the specialization semester all

students complete a Research & Innovation

Project in which they respond to a real offer

from either companies or research labs by

submitting a concretely applicable set of

solutions.

A COMPETITIVE EDGE IN THE JOB MARKET

EPITA’s International Master Program

prepares graduates for key leadership po-

sitions in the industry, offering an essential

training in theory and practice that provides

a competitive edge in the job market. During

the program, all our students fi nd high-level

internships that typically result into the fi rst

step on their career ladder. In addition, the

combination of the Engineering core with the

Business practices enables our graduates to

communicate more effectively throughout

the organization and to advance at a rapid

pace on their professional path.

THE HARMONIZATION SEMESTERThe Harmonization Semester (30 ECTS) is

mandatory only for candidates with an insuf-

ficient background in Computer Science. All

applicants are evaluated on an individual basis.

Equivalence requests are subject to approval

from the Admissions Committee.

The Harmonization Semester is common

to all areas of specialization.

THE FUNDAMENTAL SEMESTERThe Fundamental period of the Master pro-

gram aims at providing students with sound

technical knowledge for their area of specia-

lization as well as knowledge in Engineering

and know-how related to company operations.

This semester is common to all three areas

of specialization (ISM, SE & CS).

THE SPECIALIZATION SEMESTERThe central purpose of the specialization

semester of the Master’s Program is to enable

our students to enter the job market at the

end of their studies at an executive level.

At this time, each student specializes according

to a chosen career path in order to graduate

with a background perfectly adapted to the

skill sets sought after by companies. The

professional profiles of our students are built

progressively around a series of increasingly

specialized academic periods which structure

the specialized education:

• A common core curriculum period shared by

all students within the same cohort

• The specialization period specific to each

Master Program

• A Research & Innovation Project conducted

at the end of the specialization semester

The specialization semester is unique to

each area of specialization and each curri-

culum is described under each program.

INTERNSHIPS

Built around the real needs of the business

world, EPITA’s International Master Program

is designed to meet its expectations. From

the Improvement Committee to the

Scientifi c Committee, within which Senior

Business Executives and Associate

Managers provide their input to improve the

school’s programs & research foci (IBM,

Microsoft, France Télécom, Cisco, Syntec,

etc.) to the courses themselves mostly

taught by working professionals leading the

IT industry. Business is present at all school

levels. Through these strong corporate

partnerships, our Career Services maintains

privileged contacts with multi-national

companies that lead to internship oppor-

tunities for our students. Extending to over

40 countries, our alumni network enhances

international opportunities for our current

students. The required 6-month internship

allows students to be exposed to the

latest technologies while gaining valuable

experience. Feedback from the internship

host companies has been overwhelmingly

supportive of our programs. All trainees

received an average monthly allowance

of € 1,100 in 2011. In the past, interns

have held positions such as Global Business

Development Manager, Outsourcing Project

Lead, Multimedia Advanced Developer or

Telecommunications Auditor. Recent interns

have completed their 6-month internship

period in companies such as Société Géné-

rale, SFR, HP, Siemens, Cap Gemini or Sopra.

TRAINING IN & BY COMPANIES

We believe that professionals are not

only the best suited but the only ones

genuinely qualifi ed to train you for

professional skills, career development

and company life.

Hence, our International Master Program is

based on the following academic choices:

• To hire only instructors currently employed

within prestigious companies

• To require students make direct

& frequent contact with companies

• To include extensive in-company

internship periods

THE INTERNSHIP SEMESTERthis last educational period is organized around a company internship of 6-month, culminating into a master’s memoir defended on-campus in front of the graduate memoir committee.

CAREER PLAN & SPEED DATING

• HELPING STUDENTS PREPARE THEIR

CAREER PLAN

The aim of this course is to help students

defi ne and implement their career plan.

It begins with a special week, during which

current students are coached by alumni to

defi ne their career plan. In addition to gene-

ral lectures on recruitment and developing

general job search skills (i.e., CV & cover

letter writing, fi nding & responding to ads,

excelling at interviewing, etc.), the career

paths of the alumni are very enriching

to the current students who can discover

different facets of their seniors’ work in

richly varied work environments. On this

occasion, EPITA alumni who have decided to

launch their own venture return to campus

to share their experience.

• SPEED DATING FOR INTERNSHIPS

Firms wishing to offer Fall internships

(September to January), deliver short

30-minutes talks to students prior to

meeting individually with interested

candidates in break-out rooms directly after

the event. The purpose of this week is to

encourage direct meetings between students

and companies, ensuring that contacts are

made in the most effi cient way. This week is

particularly designed for end users (available

for FALL intake only).

• SPEED DATING FOR JOBS

Students who have not been offered a job

by their internship company or who were

not interested by the offer they received, are

invited to a cocktail party where they can

meet over a dozen representatives of fi rms

bringing job vacancies. Students and fi rms

are encouraged to pursue their conversa-

tion beyond the Meet & Greet event in the

selected rooms reserved on campus for that

purpose. All companies are selected

according to students’ expectations and

the existing ties between the school and the

fi rms (available for Winter intake only).

CAREER SERVICESOVERVIEW

Since its creation in 1984, more than 5,600 students have graduated from EPITA and now

work in over 1,700 fi rms around the globe. The school’s aim has always been to train top-level

young people, giving them true professional skills that will make them rapidly operational. This

preparation for the corporate world implies innovative teaching methods, enriched with numerous

CAMPUS LIFE

RESOURCES & PRE-DEPARTURE TIPS

ON CAMPUS

Located just outside Paris, EPITA shares its campus with other high-technology IONIS schools. On-campus, students have access to computer labs and

facilities 24/7. In addition to the computer labs set up for networking, 15 specialized laboratories have been created, adding up to a total of 4000sq. meters

dedicated to technical equipment. At the cutting edge of technology, EPITA always seeks ways to infuse the latest developments into its infrastructures.

The internet connection at the school runs 1Gbps, permitting 2,500 work stations to work simultaneously. In addition, the whole campus is Wi-Fi

connected, enabling students to use mobile devices anywhere. Voice over IP (VoIP) is also possible throughout the network.

CULTURAL INTEGRATION

We believe that international communication is a true competency that needs to be acquired through dedicated study. Therefore, our team has created a

week-long Cultural Integration Program led by our multicultural experts. The week is launched by a day of Orientation during which you not only meet

your classmates and gather informative program related information but also discover the campus and the breadth of the experience you are starting.

The week includes a series of workshops, French language crash-courses and cultural events all catering to cementing your fi rst immersion.

Furthermore, during the Fundamental Semester students attend our Getting Over the Cultural Shock seminar designed to insure students a stable

insertion within their new communities.

ON-CAMPUS CLUBS & ORGANIZATIONS

Taking responsibilities within a club is no small job: EPITA give to its students a tool

kit and guides, training cycles for its members, a pedagogical team of support, etc.

Because students make schools, EPITA encourages creativity and spontaneity

of its student body. And it works!

The proof: a growth of over 30% of events per year and a healthy turnover

of activities...

To describe a few: while EpiWORLD is the on-campus international student

association, EpiBOOK recycles and gives back books to the community and

UNISSON mixes electronica music. Once on campus, which clubs or associations

will you get involved with?

duate studies and thus quickly obtained a scholarship for this Master’s Program at EPITA.

I am the fi rst sponsored Bolivian student to be enrolled in an IT program in France. There is a great deal of depth and

breadth in the Software Engineering program at EPITA, with various interesting subjects including innovation and

change management. I am certain this course curriculum will provide any enthusiastic graduate with an excellent entry

into a career in Project Management. It is a real career booster!

The professors here are well experienced in their fi eld, and they brought real-life examples to the class and to our conver-

sations. Thanks to this practical training and my knowledge of French language, I easily found an interesting and well paid

internship in project management. I am very happy and looking forward to working as a project manager in this multinational company.”

“After completing my Bachelor degree in Computer Science in

Vietnam, I was interested in doing a Master’s course in the fi eld of

computer security in an international environment. I came across

EPITA’s Graduate Engineering Program with specialization in

computer security through their website and immediately applied

for this program. As luck would have it, I got a scholarship from

my country (Vietnam) for this program. My aim is to obtain more

knowledge in the fi eld of computer security and use this knowle-

dge to serve my country. EPITA and France have so many tech-

nical advances to share with the rest of the world and I view

this International Program

as a means of distribu-

ting this knowledge. The

teachers at this institute are

very friendly and always

ready to help. Being in

Paris, communicating with

French people in their own

language is a challenging

but enriching experience. This program is the platform for a real

experience in an international and multicultural environment.”
