Master Informatique — Ingénierie des données

This Master Informatique from La Rochelle Université, located in La Rochelle, France, specializes in Ingénierie des données (data engineering). Data engineering sits within the broader field of computer science and focuses on building and maintaining the systems that collect, store, process, and move data at scale, so that it can be used reliably by analysts, applications, and other downstream systems. Master's programs in this area typically cover databases and data modeling, distributed data processing, data pipeline design, cloud infrastructure, and the tools used to manage large or continuously updated datasets. Students generally practice building end-to-end data pipelines, working with both structured and unstructured data, and addressing issues of data quality, storage efficiency, and system reliability. Coursework often includes programming for data-intensive applications, an introduction to big data frameworks, and modules on data governance and security, since data engineers are frequently responsible for ensuring that data is accurate, accessible, and properly protected. Team projects and applied case studies are common, giving students experience coordinating with data scientists, analysts, and software engineers who rely on the infrastructure they build. Graduates typically move into roles such as data engineer, database administrator, or infrastructure engineer within technology companies or the IT departments of organizations in various sectors. The program spans two years, with an inferred September start, and is taught in French. Yearly tuition is set at 250 EUR.
