Programme objectives

  • Train versatile professionals who master the fundamentals of computer science: software development, systems and networks, databases, and web and mobile technologies;
  • Build practical expertise through project-based learning: coding from the very first month, with a company project every year including a deliverable and a defense;
  • Support companies' digital transformation by preparing graduates capable of designing, deploying, and securing innovative technology solutions;
  • Strengthen cross-disciplinary skills: communication, teamwork, project management, and technical English;
  • Prepare students for the division's four specializations: Software Architecture, AI and Big Data, Systems, Networks and Cloud, and Cybersecurity.

Highlights

  • Dual degree: Bachelor ESGI, a French technical diploma recognized internationally, and the Bachelor's Degree in Information and Digital Technologies (UFRA), accredited by the MESRS and valid for competitive exams and civil service;
  • ESGI's pedagogy is built on projects, not lectures: students start coding from the first month;
  • Every year, a team project on a real-world case, with a deliverable and a defense;
  • Mandatory internship, ongoing contact with companies, instructors who are working professionals;
  • Continuous technology watch: the program integrates the technologies used today, not those of yesterday;
  • No lump-sum payment: four installments per year, with possible company or FDFP funding.
