About this program
Applied MSc in Data Science & Artificial Intelligence (Online/On-Campus/Apprenticeship)
Level 7 of the European Qualifications Framework (EQF) - RNCP 34262 Level 7 certified, Diploma accredited as "Expert en Sciences des Données"
This 9 months of classes and 6-month internship Applied MSc programme, with its two entries in Autumn and Spring, is a programme delivered in English and designed to bring students to the scientific heart of Data Science & Artificial Intelligence.
Classes for this Applied MSc programme are offered on a full-time basis from DSTI campuses (around 5hrs a day), Online or in SPOC mode (self-paced and montlhy intakes).
This programme is “depth-first” in applied mathematics and their implementation, led by Professors from the “French School of Mathematics”. It aims to give students a deep understanding of the main scientific grounds for artificial intelligence techniques, centred on modelling and then implementing rather than surveying data science APIs & frameworks.
Prospective students seeking for an IT-focused, “breadth-first” through programming frameworks, should be looking at our Applied MSc in Data Engineering for Artificial Intelligence programme instead.
Classes are given in English from the:
- End of September to beginning of April for the Autumn entry(because of the global health crisis, the next cohort will start on November 2nd, 2020);
- Beginning of March to mid-October for the Spring entry.
On a full-time basis (5 hours/day) along with “Engineering Projects” and followed by a 6-month work placement.

In this Applied MSc programme, you will:
- Sharpen your applied mathematics for data science and artificial intelligence;
- Focus your learning curve on understanding the heart of artificial intelligence algorithms;
- Operationalise your scientific skills with the analysis, design, implementation & monitoring of IT & Big Data architectures;
- Combine science and technology in application courses & projects requiring both, for dealing with industry-grade data science;
- Get awareness of IT project management and the legal consequences of data handling, with a pinch of ethical thinking regarding the consequences of mining (big) data.
