Master Informatique — Réseaux et Systèmes Autonomes

Tuition fees are 250 EUR per year.

The Master Informatique at Université Paris Cité includes a track in Réseaux et Systèmes Autonomes, or networks and autonomous systems, offered as a two-year master's degree taught in French in Paris, France, starting in September with annual tuition of 250 EUR. This area of computer science studies how computer networks are designed, managed, and secured, alongside the growing field of autonomous systems that operate with limited human intervention, such as connected devices, sensor networks, and self-managing infrastructure. Coursework typically covers the architecture and protocols underlying modern networks, including topics such as routing, wireless communication, and network security, alongside material on distributed systems and the algorithms that allow networks and devices to adapt automatically to changing conditions. Students usually study how autonomous systems make decisions without constant human oversight, how large numbers of connected devices can be managed efficiently, and how networks can be designed to remain reliable and secure as they scale. Practical work commonly includes configuring and testing network infrastructure, simulating distributed and autonomous systems, and working with the tools used to monitor and manage complex networks. Coursework may also address emerging areas such as the internet of things, where large numbers of autonomous devices communicate over shared networks. Graduates from this specialization typically move into roles such as network engineer, systems architect, or infrastructure specialist, working for telecommunications companies, cloud service providers, or organizations managing large-scale connected systems. Since the program is delivered in French, solid French language proficiency is needed for technical coursework and assessment throughout the two years of study in Paris.
