Master Informatique — Systèmes électroniques, systèmes informatiques (SESI)

Tuition costs 292 USD per year.

Computer systems and electronics form a specialization that bridges computer science and electrical engineering, studying how computing hardware is designed and how software interacts closely with physical devices. The SESI track, for Systèmes électroniques, systèmes informatiques, within the Master Informatique at Sorbonne Université in Paris, France, reflects this combination of electronic and computer systems. Students in this kind of program typically study digital and analog electronics, embedded systems programming, computer architecture, and the design of hardware-software systems used in devices ranging from sensors to industrial equipment. Coursework often includes circuit design, microcontroller programming, real-time systems, and projects integrating hardware components with control software. Graduates from this specialization pursue careers as embedded systems engineers, hardware-software integration engineers, and electronics engineers within industries such as telecommunications, automotive, aerospace, robotics, and consumer electronics, as well as roles in research and development for connected devices. Some continue toward doctoral research in embedded systems or electronics. The program leads to a master's degree over two years, delivered in French, beginning in September, with a yearly tuition of 250 EUR. This path suits students who want to work across the boundary between hardware and software, combining electronics knowledge with computer science training rather than specializing exclusively in one or the other.
