Master Informatique

Tuition fees are 250 EUR per year.

The Master Informatique at Université de La Réunion is a two-year computer science program based in Saint Denis and taught in French. Computer science at this level generally covers software engineering, algorithms and data structures, databases, networks, and increasingly topics such as artificial intelligence, data science, and cybersecurity, depending on the specialization chosen. Students can expect coursework that combines theoretical foundations with practical programming projects, often working with multiple programming languages and development tools over the course of the degree. A master's in computer science prepares graduates for roles such as software developer, systems analyst, database administrator, or IT project manager, and can also serve as a stepping stone toward doctoral research for those interested in academic careers. Given how central computing has become across industries, graduates of informatique programs find opportunities not only in technology companies but also in finance, healthcare, retail, and the public sector, wherever software systems need to be built or maintained. The program begins in September and spans two years, with instruction conducted in French throughout, so applicants need a solid grasp of the French language in addition to prior study in computer science or a closely related field. Yearly tuition is 250 EUR. Based in Saint Denis on Réunion island, the university offers a French higher education environment set apart from mainland France. Students entering this program should be comfortable with logical reasoning, mathematics, and independent problem-solving, since computer science coursework tends to move quickly from concepts to hands-on implementation.
