Master Informatique — M1 - Interaction, Graphic and Design

Institut polytechnique de Paris offers Master Informatique, with its first year, M1 Interaction, Graphic and Design, taught in French at the institute's Palaiseau site. This track sits within computer science, with a focus on human-computer interaction, computer graphics, and design, an area concerned with how people interact with digital systems and how visual and interactive content is created and rendered by computers. Students in a program of this kind typically study interface design, computer graphics techniques, and usability principles, alongside coursework covering the programming methods used to build interactive applications and render visual content. Coursework often includes the study of user experience design, three-dimensional graphics and rendering, animation techniques, and the evaluation methods used to test how usable and effective an interface or interactive system is. Many programs in this area also introduce students to the technical foundations of virtual and augmented reality, given their reliance on interaction and graphics research. Graduates commonly pursue careers as user experience or interface designers, computer graphics engineers, developers of interactive applications and games, or researchers studying human-computer interaction. Some continue toward doctoral research in computer science, design, or related fields, while others move into product design roles within technology companies. As the M1, this track is the first year of a two-year master's degree at Institut polytechnique de Paris, beginning in September, with annual tuition of 250 EUR. Because instruction is delivered in French, students should be prepared to study interaction design and computer graphics concepts in French while based at the Palaiseau campus.
