Program Overview

Internet of Things: Innovation and Management Program

The Master Internet of Things: Innovation and Management (Internet des Objets: Innovation et Management) is a two-year program, entirely taught in English, designed for future experts in digital transformation.

Overview

The program is based on six thematic pillars to develop students' expertise in the field of connected objects:

• Electronics: objects, sensors, sensors, etc.
• Communication: connectivity, data transmission
• Software system: integrated systems, cloud and data exploitation
• Laws and regulations: intellectual property, individual rights, data protection
• Management and economy: data monetization, economic models, innovation and entrepreneurship, strategy, project management
• Society and sociology: behavioral interaction, social changes

Program Structure

The MSc&T; IoT is an innovative and dynamic program. In addition to high-quality teaching provided by Ecole Polytechnique professors and industrial partners, the program is distinguished by its participatory learning approach, notably through the inclusion of the Graduate Project.

First Year

The first year of the program is divided into three periods: two periods of courses and one period dedicated to a research or industrial internship. This structure provides a solid and comprehensive foundation in IoT technologies and applications.

• Courses: During the first period (from mid-September to mid-December), students attend fundamental courses to acquire essential knowledge in IoT.
• Stage: The third period (from March to July/August) is dedicated to a 16-week research or industrial internship. This immersive experience allows students to put their academic knowledge into practice in concrete projects, bridging the gap between theoretical learning and professional practice.

Second Year

The second year of the program is divided into three periods: two periods of advanced courses and one period dedicated to an extended research or industrial internship. The program focuses on specialized knowledge and entrepreneurial skills in the field of IoT.

• Courses: During the first period (from mid-September to mid-December), students delve into advanced concepts through courses such as "Microfluidics and Biosystems," which explores emerging applications of IoT in health and engineering, and "Database Management," focused on data organization and retrieval in IoT systems.
• Stage: The third period (from March to July/August) is dedicated to a 20- to 24-week research or industrial internship. This period allows students to integrate their academic knowledge into professional projects, offering practical experience to address IoT challenges and develop innovative solutions.

Graduate Project

Throughout the two years of the program, students devote several hours a week to their graduate project. Individually or in small groups, they manage each stage of developing a connected object, from initial design to design, prototyping, and presentation. This development project aims to put into practice the knowledge and methods acquired by students during their curriculum. A dedicated supervisor supports, guides, and advises students throughout the project, also providing access to their professional and academic network.

Admission Criteria

• The ideal Bachelor's degree for candidates applying to the MSc&T; in Cybersecurity is a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Technology.
• Candidates holding a Bachelor's degree in Applied Mathematics, Electrical Engineering, or Electronic Engineering are also eligible.

Tuition Fees

• The tuition fee for the program is 15,400 per year.

Career Prospects

All students currently in their second year have received a job offer from companies where they did their first-year internship. The IoT program trains entrepreneurs, engineers, and consultants passionate about the world of connected objects and curious about discovering all related sectors. Throughout the Master's program, students learn to imagine new objects, improve the use of existing objects, create business models, develop new knowledge through research, etc. The technical and scientific knowledge of students, combined with the practical skills acquired during their Master's project, makes them highly competitive for positions in the best startups, companies, or research centers. If they wish, students can also decide to pursue a thesis after the Master's program.
