Master Informatique — M1 - Informatique

Tuition costs 250 EUR per year.

M1 - Informatique, part of the Master Informatique program at Université de Rouen Normandie, belongs to the broad discipline of computer science, which studies how computers process information and how software systems are designed, built and analyzed. The field covers core topics such as algorithms and data structures, programming languages, operating systems, databases and computer architecture, giving students a general grounding before they specialize further within computing. Typical coursework includes software development practices, theoretical computer science, systems programming, and an introduction to areas such as networks, artificial intelligence or web technologies, depending on how the program is structured. Students are trained to design efficient algorithms, build and maintain software systems, and reason about the correctness and performance of the programs they write, skills that form the basis for more advanced or specialized work later in the degree. Because computer science underlies most modern industries, the training also emphasizes problem-solving and abstraction, teaching students to translate real-world problems into computational solutions. Career directions associated with a general computer science background include software engineering and development roles, systems administration, technical roles in a wide range of industries that rely on custom software, and further specialization in areas such as data science, cybersecurity or artificial intelligence at a later stage. The broad foundation built during this stage of study supports movement into many different technical career paths after graduation. This program is offered by Université de Rouen Normandie, located in Saint-Etienne-Du-Rouvray, France, as a master's degree over two years, with instruction in French. The yearly tuition is 250 EUR, with an intake beginning in September.
