Master Informatique — Langages et Programmation

For Master Informatique — Langages et Programmation, tuition fees are 250 EUR per year.

The Master Informatique at Université Paris Cité includes a track in Langages et Programmation, or languages and programming, offered as a two-year master's degree taught in French in Paris, France, starting in September with annual tuition of 250 EUR. This specialization focuses on the theory and design of programming languages, examining how languages are structured, how programs are translated into executable form, and how software can be built more reliably through careful language and tool design. Coursework typically covers formal language theory, compiler construction, type systems, and programming paradigms such as functional, object-oriented, or logic programming, giving students a deeper understanding of how programming languages work beneath the surface of everyday coding. Students usually study how compilers and interpreters translate source code into executable instructions, how type systems help catch errors before a program runs, and how different programming paradigms shape the way software is designed and structured. Practical work commonly involves implementing components of compilers or interpreters, experimenting with different programming languages and paradigms, and applying formal methods to verify or reason about program behavior. Coursework may also address software engineering practices that depend on this theoretical foundation, such as static analysis tools or techniques for improving code correctness and maintainability. Graduates of this kind of specialization typically pursue roles such as software engineer, compiler developer, or programming language researcher, and the theoretical grounding it provides is also relevant to roles in software tooling, static analysis, and systems programming more broadly. Because the program is delivered in French, strong French language proficiency is required for coursework and assessment throughout the two years of study in Paris.
