The Master of Science in Informatics at Grenoble offers access to world-class
graduate training in a domain where the scientific research community in
Grenoble is particularly strong. MoSIG is a highly competitive, two-year European
standard (LMD) graduate program, entirely taught in English.
Academic program
The Master’s Program (120 ECTS) combines three semesters of courses and
laboratory work (90 ECTS) with a six-month individual research project (30 ECTS).
The first semester is composed of a common core curriculum of fundamental
courses in Informatics. During the second semester, students have the opportunity
to choose a selection of introductory courses to different subdomains. During the
third semester, students follow an advanced academic program in one of the seven
areas of specialization. The fourth semester is devoted to the master research
project, conducted under the direction of an academic supervisor within one of the
research teams associated with the program.
Admission
To be admitted to the program, candidates must have previously completed their undergraduate studies
and been awarded a Bachelor degree in either Science (BSc) or Engineering (BEng) in Computer science,
Computer Engineering, Informatics or Applied Mathematics and solid practice in programming.
While students are normally expected to follow the full 2-year program, it is possible for students with a strong
academic background and the necessary prerequisite courses to apply for admission directly to the second
year.
Selection is based on
• prior academic and/or scientific achievement as documented by academic transcripts,
• completed on-line application form,
• a motivational essay,
• letters of recommendation,
• standardized test scores for English language competence (B2 level required),
This requirement is waived for applicants from English speaking countries as well as applicants whose
