Data is the black gold of the 21st century. We need to understand and master the technologies that enable us to collect it, secure it, analyse it and extract information from it.

Data & AI major
The data revolution
- Duration: 2 years
- Start date: September 2024
- Campus: Paris
- ECTS credits : 120
- Language of instruction: English for initial training, French for apprenticeships
- Pattern: Full-time, Work-study
Presentation of the Data & AI major
Even though the principle of analyzing and processing large amounts of data to extract information is not a new process, in the Data Age it relies on infrastructures that represent a technological breakthrough. We can now process gigantic volumes of data, at an incomparable speed, while integrating a variety of structured or unstructured data (images, videos, sounds, texts, logs, etc.).
The Data & AI major trains engineers who are capable of supporting companies in their digital transformation initiatives by setting up “Datalake” projects and analytical applications. These paradigm shifts bring a better understanding of governance issues and data quality.
The objectives of the Data & AI major
Understanding the limits of vertical growth in information systems
Master Big Data frameworks such as Hadoop and Spark
Understand the concepts of Big Data and the mechanisms of data governance
Master Machine Learning algorithms and data analysis and manipulation tools (R, Spark, Python, Matlab, etc.)
