Master Informatique — M1 - Data and Artificial Intelligence

Institut polytechnique de Paris offers Master Informatique, with its first year, M1 Data and Artificial Intelligence, taught in French at the institute's Palaiseau site. This track sits within computer science, with a focus on data science and artificial intelligence, an area concerned with extracting knowledge from large datasets and building systems capable of learning patterns and making predictions or decisions. Students in a program of this kind typically study machine learning, statistics, algorithms, and data management, alongside coursework covering the mathematical foundations of artificial intelligence and the practical tools used to process and analyze data. Coursework often includes the design and training of machine learning models, methods for handling large-scale datasets, and the study of applications such as natural language processing, computer vision, or recommendation systems. Many programs in this area also address the ethical and practical considerations involved in deploying artificial intelligence systems, including questions of data quality and model reliability. Graduates commonly pursue careers as data scientists, machine learning engineers, or artificial intelligence researchers within technology companies, research laboratories, or organizations across sectors that rely on data-driven decision-making. Some continue toward doctoral research in computer science or applied mathematics, while others move into roles in data engineering or analytics consulting. As the M1, this track is the first year of a two-year master's degree at Institut polytechnique de Paris, beginning in September, with annual tuition of 250 EUR. Because instruction is delivered in French, students should be prepared to study data science and artificial intelligence concepts in French while based at the Palaiseau campus.
