Inspired by the traditional university model in English speaking countries, the Master of Science, more commonly known as the MSc is a Bac+5 (five years post-secondary school) degree, generally earned in just over a year, intended for those who hold at least a Bachelor’s degree (Bac+3 or three years post secondary). It is renowned for its international aspect and its operational approach, which gives graduates a high degree of employability.

The Masters of Science (or MSc) awarded by IPAG combine the academic and scientific requirements of this degree with the values and aims of the school, based on promoting a management model that is appropriate for a globalised and constantly changing world. They offer both professional and international aspects. Our graduates can therefore become operational in a job and/or specific business sector immediately.

This course is offered in partnership with DataScientist, a hybrid training organisation, and leading Data Science instructor in France.
