Data Science Entry and Exit program


Since september 2015, UCA runs an entry point in DSC. The exit point running since 2016 offers a specialization entitled Multimedia and Web Science for Big Data.

Be aware of the great opportunity by studying as an ENTRY student at UCA => you will be registered to two UCA degrees, mainly the UCA Polytech Nice Sophia engineering degree in Sciences Informatiques (Computer science), and the Master in computer science of UCA. The engineering degree is well-recognized through two labels: by the French CTI and the European EUR@ACE, still it requires you to commit to extra requirements, especially a French proficiency level at least A2 at the end of (or at worst 2 years after) your studies as an UCA engineering student (you may only graduate with the Master degree at the end, if some requirements get not fulfilled).
Sorry, but this opportunity cannot apply to EXIT students, as the number of studying semesters in the premises of UCA Polytech engineering school is too low (only 1..., should be at least equal to 2 to get opportunity to graduate with a CTI labelled engineering degree) => you can only graduate with the Master degree of UCA.


Check here for more information about studying at Sophia Tech campus of UniCA as international student.

First Year (4th year SI MUNDUS) EIT Digital track in Data Science 

In the sequel, MAM4 means 4th year of Maths Appliquées (MAM) department of Polytech Nice Sophia. SI5 means 5th year of Sciences Informatiques (SI) of this same engineering school. MAM5 SD corresponds to the 5th year' option track entitled "Sciences des Données" (SD). All courses listed are taught in English except if not specifically mentioned (FR).

Project Fin d'Etudes in Data science (6 ECTS)

Project Fin d'Etudes Schedule
Personal research and/or development project in Data Science, individual or in small teams (up to 4 people) Starts september till  early march, 4 weeks, almost full time in feb 6 ECTS

Innovation and Entrepreunership module (6 ECTS)

Besides, the student must develop a mandatory Innovation and Entrepreneurship (I&E) work of 6 ECTS, as mandated by EIT Digital I&E common specification of masters. This work is coached by the UCA coordinator in I&E and spans the whole October-Early March period once per two weeks approximatively starting early october. The goal is to reuse on-line I&E material from the Moodle, common to all EIT Digital masters, and apply this to selected business cases. These business cases are most of the time proposed by the various EIT Digital Action Lines partners and the local ecosystem.

Semester 4

Internship/Master thesis (30 ECTS, 4 to 6 months max)

This internship can be done either in our partner research institutions teams at I3S, LJAD, INRIA even if for EIT Digital students, industrial internship is the preferred choice. We provide support and guidance to this aim. Including for outside the Nice - Sophia-Antipolis Technology park. The evaluation of the internship work encompasses three aspects: work achieved as measured by the internship supervisor, written thesis submitted at the end of August and evaluated by the university supervisor, oral defense organized early September (can happen in visio conference mode) and evaluated by a jury of professors. Positions as employee in a company can also be turned as the mandatory period for preparing the master thesis, as soon as the content is approved by the track local coordinator.

Project subjects and internships of former students


This is one way to let known who are the students that have studied one year in Data Science at UCA. This includes the name of their exit point, or respectively entry point. And what are the topics that they have been able to be in touch with. For Master 2 students, is also indicated the title of their master thesis, where they prepared it, and if available, where they are now employed.
