Master in Artificial Intelligence

& Advanced Visual Computing

The Master of Science and Technology in Artificial
Intelligence and Advanced Visual Computing is a two-year
program, entirely taught in English and designed for highly
qualified and internationally oriented students. It provides
them with an in-depth understanding of the most recent
techniques in artificial intelligence.

This research-oriented program is at the heart of digital

science and its latest, most promising applications. Its
curriculum comprises two branches, namely Artificial
Intelligence and Visual Computing. The first branch takes
into account statistical learning and its applications in data
science, while the second looks at 3D computer graphics,
virtual and augmented reality, multimodal interaction,
computer vision, robotics, and 3D manufacturing.

Career Outcomes: The program combines both research

and professional experience. After graduating, students
can either pursue PhD study at a French or foreign research
lab, or work for companies and start-ups across a range of
industries: digital apps, drones, virtual reality, e-commerce,
banking, etc.

Program Structure
The program provides students with the keys to become the next creators of innovative applications. During the
program, students work on transverse projects aiming to find solutions to significant issues raised by either industrial
partners or researchers. The Master’s ends with a final internship, either at a company R&D center or a research lab.
