The goal of the Post Master's degree is to provide advanced skills and a cutting-edge experience in a wide range of Digital Security applications. The strenght of the program relies on a multi-faceted approach dealing with key fields of security applications: Security of Software, Embedded Systems, Cloud computing, Data, IoT, Networks and Communications.
CONTEXT
With the fast development of computer and communication systems in our private and professional life, today have come fraud and malevolence in various forms. Attacks are routinely ranging from simple computer nuisances to cybercrime and threats to critical infrastructure. In the past decades technical means to counter these attacks have experienced a tremendous growth and the birth of entirely new fields :
- The large scale use of cryptography by the general public,
- Software, operating system and network security,
- Secure Internet transactions,
- Security of mobile and wireless communications,
- Rights management and protection of multimedia content.
OBJECTIVES
The Post Master's degree offers the necessary technical knowledge for engineers responsible for designing secure systems and system administrators responsible for ensuring computer and network security within a company or a public authority.
The following security topics will be covered:
- cryptography and its applications
- malware detection and analysis
- specific mechanisms for the protection of communications, networks and distributed computer applications
- image protection and biometric techniques
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
To be eligible, Candidates need a Master's degree (minimim 5 years of higher education), a degree of engineer delivered by the CTI, or equivalent and a certified B2 level in English. A Master's degree in a relevant field is expected (Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Electrical Engineering...) with a good foundation in Maths.
COURSE CONTENT
The curriculum is very flexible as it offers many elective courses allowing students to design their own program according to their expectations and projects.
The approach to learning is very hands-on (practical exercices, projects, internships) to facilitate entry in the job market. Please find examples of recent STUDENT PROJECTS.

PAID INDUSTRIAL INTERNSHIP / THESIS |
|---|
|
The last semester is made of a 6-month internship which provides students with a cutting-edge professional experience and a competitive edge.
The internship is to be carried out in a company in France or abroad. Students work on a development project under the supervision of a professor and an industrial mentor. Students are integrated as part of the staff and receive a monthly allowance, the amount of the allowance depends on the company and position. EURECOM provides students with an updated database of paid internship opportunities offered by its parner companies. Students can use EURECOM's platform to directly send their application to companies. Example of companies where students did their internship: ORANGE / SAP / AMADEUS / IWE... |
