The IGD Master track is part of the Computer Science Master of Institut Polytechnique de Paris (IP Paris)
Please see the following IP Paris pages for application and for a presentation of IGD M1 and IGD M2.
The Welcome Session will take place on September 8, 2025 at Télécom Paris in amphitheater 3.
The IGD Master offers a comprehensive range of courses which are held by the following institutes:
All of these institutes are located on Plateau de Saclay. Maps: IP Paris - Paris-Saclay
The academic year starts in September and ends in June. It is divided into four Periods (P1, P2, P3, and P4). The two first Periods correspond to the first Semester (S1), and the two last Periods to the second Semester (S2). The starting/ending dates of the Periods are not exactly the same for all institutes, meaning that the starting/ending weeks of courses depend on which institutes they are held (see Overall Schedule).
Each student will be assigned a tutor according to his/her main domain of interest. The tutor helps guide the student in ensuring that their course selection is coherent and aligned with the program requirements and individual student interests.
At the beginning of each year, the student must select a coherent set of courses, according to her/his preferences and prior knowledge. Except otherwise stated, courses can either be taken in M1 or M2, but beware that class’ prerequisites must be respected.
Students are invited to contact their tutor (and/or other lecturers) to help them in choosing courses. The tutor will validate the chosen list of courses before it is possible to register for classes.
M1 students can follow up to 10 ECTS in other tracks of the Computer Science Master.
M1 students must follow at least one project module, while M2 students can follow a project module. Available modules:
M1 students may optionally do a 2 or 3-month internship for 10 or 15 ECTS, respectively. It must be taken no earlier than March and must be defended by July 1st.
M2 students must do an approximately 6-month internship, which counts for 30 ECTS. It must be taken no earlier than March. It must be defended in early September to meet graduation deadlines. After that, it is possible to defend in early October to qualify for late graduation.
