The École Pour l'Informatique et les Techniques Avancées (the "Graduate School of Computer Science and Advanced Technologies"), more commonly known as EPITA is a French grande école specialized in the field of computer science and software engineering[2] · .[3] It is a private engineering school, member of IONIS Education Group,[4] accredited by the Commission des titres d'ingénieur and based at Le Kremlin-Bicêtre, south of Paris.[5] In June 2013, EPITA becomes member of the Union of Independent Grandes Écoles, which includes 30 grandes écoles.[6] The university will open a new campus abroad in 2014.[7]
Studies
Preparatory class
The first two years of studies are preparatory years. During these two years, students study mathematics, physics and electronics as well as algorithmics and computer science.[8]
Engineering
The first year
The third year is the first year of engineering studies, where students learn the fundamentals in information technology and software engineering. This year is also famous for its first month, during which students will be asked to make several projects, which generally lead them to code more than 15 hours per day. Third year students are known to say that "sleeping is cheating" and usually remember this year as their most painstaking year at EPITA.
Majors
During the fourth and fifth years students have to choose one of the eight majors:
- SRS, Systèmes, Réseaux et Sécurité ("Systems, Networks and Security")
- MTI, Multimédia et Technologies de l'Information ("Multimedia and Information Technology")
- SCIA, Sciences Cognitives et Informatique Avancée ("Cognitive Science and Advanced Computer Science")
- GISTRE, Génie Informatique des Systèmes Temps Réel et Embarqués ("Computer Engineering, Real-time Systems and Embedded System")
- SIGL, Systèmes d’Information et Génie Logiciel ("Information Systems and Software Engineering")
- TCOM, Télécommunications ("Telecommunication")
- CSI, Calcul Scientifique et Image ("Scientific Calculation and Image")
