YEAR 1

1ST STAGE

{ Fundamentals } and Autonomy 1

From the first day in our legendary Pool, students immerse themselves in the basics of computer science. The universality of the techniques, through specific projects, provides the students with autonomy, creating a culture of teamwork, collaboration and collective success. The rest of the year is mainly taken up with carrying out a series of projects, which help them acquire a sense of responsibility. At the end of each semester, they present their keynote projects. This teaches them skills related to talking about their work in public and sharing their greatest technological successes.

Educational modules - First Year

Year 2

1ST STAGE

{ Design } and Teamwork

The Second Year begins with paid professional internships lasting between 4 and 6 months, enabling the student to use the competencies they have learned in the first year and to move on with their professional project. On returning to Epitech, the C++ pool once again immerses the students into the world of programming. Students now have 2 projects to contend with: Indie Studio and Zappy. In both projects students must develop real videogames, integrating the concepts of graphics engines, parallel programming and Artificial Intelligence. These projects make up their own keynotes, which means they can share their learning before starting the Third Year.

Year 3

1st Stage

{ Diversification} and Innovation

The Third Year acts as a hinge in the programme, focussing on the role computer science plays in different professional industries. Students are invited to reflect on the way in which computer science and its associated competencies can be linked up with a specific professional project and serve society. It’s at this point that innovation is prioritised, with the start of the “innovation stage”, which lasts 3 years. The Third Year adds to students’ professional experience, providing them with more internships lasting between 4 and 6 months, with a commitment of 2 days per week.

2nd stage

{ Opening up } International and Multicultural Experiences

Internationality is fundamental in Epitech. The Fourth Year is spent entirely abroad, in one of our 80 associated universities or at any Epitech campus overseas. This programme involves discovering different cultures, reflecting on students’ home countries from the outside, learning new methods of teaching and widening their network of contacts. In a world that’s as globalised and ever-changing as our current one, we can’t imagine a successful career that doesn’t have an international dimension. During this time, Epitech students will be plunged into a new working environment, where they can choose the subjects that are best suited to their professional project and particular area of interest. At the same time, they will continue to work as part of a team on their Epitech Innovative Project (EIP), albeit remotely and away from their team-mates, just as they would if they were working on a project for an international company.

Our network of associated universities

The Fourth Year abroad signifies a true turning-point within the programme. With the goal of being able to access the best computer science training on an international level, we have fabricated a network of 80 associated universities. The range of institutes means every student can find the place that best suits their cultural and educational preferences.

Our involvement in the Erasmus Programme

We are part of the Erasmus Programme. As members of this European university initiative, Epitech has established bilateral exchange agreements with different universities within the European Union.

Year 5

2nd stage

{ Leadership }

During the final year, students attend more than 50 workshops and sessions given by professionals at the highest level. These sessions address current topics such as data analysis, quantum computing, innovation management and Artificial Intelligence. In tandem, students spend 3 days a week working in businesses and, once they have completed their studies, they work for a further 6 months as part of their professional internships. Those who have successfully submitted their EIP project may also concentrate on launching their own business. The Fifth Year is also the culmination of 3 years of team work on what is Epitech’s biggest project: the Epitech Innovative Project.

Educational modules - Fifth Year

Students have the option of choosing between 60 modules covering different topics, from the technological environment to professional competencies.

Transversal competencies:
