Master Informatique — E-services - en alternance

Tuition costs 292 USD per year.

Université de Lille offers the Master Informatique — E-services, in Villeneuve d'Ascq, France, delivered en alternance, which combines periods at the university with periods working for a host organization. Computer science at the master's level covers programming, software architecture, databases, networks, and information systems, giving students a broad technical foundation before they specialize. The E-services orientation focuses on the design, development, and management of digital services delivered over the internet, such as web platforms, mobile applications, and the back-end systems that support them, including topics like user experience, service architecture, and IT project management. Students in this kind of program typically study software engineering methods, database design, web and mobile development, distributed systems, and elements of IT service management, alongside the hands-on experience gained through the alternance placement with an employer. Career paths commonly associated with this discipline include software developer, digital service designer, IT project manager, and web or application engineer, often in sectors that rely heavily on online platforms and digital customer interaction. The program runs for two years, starting in September, with instruction given in French. Yearly tuition is 250 EUR. Because it is structured en alternance, applicants generally need to find a host company for the work placement component, which lets them apply what they learn in the classroom directly to real digital service projects. This field is well suited to students who want to combine computer science fundamentals with practical, employer-based experience in building and running online services.
