Studies
[edit]
French Stream
[edit]Preparatory class
[edit]The first two years of studies are preparatory years. During these two years, students study mathematics, physics and electronics as well as algorithmics and computer science.[7]
Engineering class
[edit]The first year
[edit]The third year is the first year of engineering studies, where students learn the fundamentals in information technology and software engineering. This year is also famous for its first month, during which students will be asked to make several projects, which generally lead them to code more than 15 hours per day. Third year students are known to say that "sleeping is cheating" and usually remember this year as their most painstaking year at EPITA.[citation needed]
Majors
[edit]During the fourth and fifth years students have to choose one of the nine majors:
- IMAGE, Traitement et synthèse d'image ("Image processing and synthesis")
- SRS, Systèmes, Réseaux et Sécurité ("Systems, Networks and Security")
- MTI, Multimédia et Technologies de l'Information ("Multimedia and Information Technology")
- SCIA, Sciences Cognitives et Informatique Avancée ("Cognitive Science and Advanced Computer Science")
- QUANTUM, Quantum Computing & Quantum Technologies ("Quantum")
- SANTÉ, Data science généraliste (General data science)
- GISTRE, Génie Informatique des Systèmes Temps Réel et Embarqués ("Computer Engineering, Real-time Systems and Embedded System")
