Master Informatique — Image, vision par ordinateur, informatique graphique (IMA)

Tuition costs 292 USD per year.

Computer vision and computer graphics form a specialization within computer science focused on how computers process, interpret, and generate visual information. Computer vision covers methods for extracting information from images and video, such as object recognition and scene understanding, while computer graphics covers the generation and rendering of visual content, including three-dimensional modeling and animation. The IMA track, for Image, vision par ordinateur, informatique graphique, within the Master Informatique at Sorbonne Université in Paris, France, brings these areas together. Students in this kind of track typically study image processing algorithms, machine learning methods applied to visual data, geometric modeling, and rendering techniques, alongside core computer science training in algorithms and software development. Coursework often involves practical projects building systems for image analysis, three-dimensional visualization, or interactive graphics applications. Graduates from image, vision, and graphics programs pursue careers as computer vision engineers, graphics or rendering engineers, and software developers in industries such as gaming, film and animation, medical imaging, robotics, and autonomous systems. Some continue toward doctoral research in computer vision or computer graphics. The program leads to a master's degree over two years, delivered in French, beginning in September, with a yearly tuition of 250 EUR. This path suits students with strong mathematical and programming foundations who are drawn to the visual and geometric side of computing, working on systems that either interpret images or generate visual content rather than focusing solely on non-visual data processing.
