DSTI offers the Applied MSc in Data Analytics in two modes: Initial Education and Continuous Education.
Initial Education’ is designed for students under 30 transitioning from school or university, preparing them to become proficient data professionals. Choose between two options: Full-Time or Part-Time (Apprenticeship).
For beginners in Data Analytics, we suggest the 2-year Full-time mode with options for two data-related internships, the second being mandatory.
The apprenticeship mode combines part-time work and study, open only to EU students or those with a long-term visa in France. Read details before applying.
For professionals typically 30 or older, Continuing Education balances career growth and work commitments. It’s perfect for those with relevant experience or tech education, allowing flexible completion of the Applied MSc in Data Analytics on-campus or online.
In Accelerated Learning, students finish coursework in about 9 months, then undertake a 6-month internship or job in the data field, reducing time to market.
SPOC is ideal for students balancing studies with regular jobs. Coursework, completed between 15 – 36 months through recorded lectures, can be supplemented with live online sessions if available. The course duration is flexible to the student’s needs.
