Discover our programs in AI and DATA
The AI & Data track includes four complementary Masters of Science, all taught on the Paris campus. Each program approaches artificial intelligence and data from a distinct angle, allowing each student to build expertise tailored to their professional project.
The four programs offered are:
- MSc Artificial Intelligence, to master the design of advanced AI architectures.
- MSc AI for Business Transformation, to deploy AI for the benefit of organizations.
- MSc Data Management, to govern and leverage data at scale.
The duration varies depending on the chosen program. The MSc in Artificial Intelligence and the MSc in Data Management run for 2 years and deliver 150 ECTS credits. They are accessible from Bac +3 or Bac +4 level.
The MSc in AI for Business Transformation is the only 1-year program in the field, delivering 90 ECTS credits. It is only accessible in the 2ⁿᵈ year for candidates who have a validated Bac +4 in computer science, engineering, data science, or a related field. All four programs deliver a Bac +5 level diploma recognized by the state and accredited by the Conference of Grandes Écoles.
The mastered tools vary depending on the program but cover the entire AI and data chain.
- In the MSc in Artificial Intelligence, you work on deep learning architectures, neuro-symbolic models, and explainable AI tools.
- In the MSc Data Management, you master Python, SQL, Big Data frameworks, and cloud platforms to design complete data pipelines.
- The MSc AI for Business Transformation focuses on tools for managing AI projects, data analysis, and leading digital transformation in a business context.
Applications are submitted directly online on the ECE admissions page.
The process includes a file study followed by a motivational interview for shortlisted candidates.
Applications are open to French students and international students residing in France or outside of France.
For programs available at Bac +3 level, you must justify 180 ECTS credits in scientific and technical training. For direct integration into the 2nd year, 240 ECTS credits are required. A TOEIC B2 level in English is required for all programs. A deposit of €3,500 is requested upon enrollment for international students residing outside of France.
