About
The Master of Science in Computer Science and Law program is dedicated to the development of interdisciplinary talents, enhancing computer science competencies, and strengthening legal knowledge in new technological fields, such as the study of new issues arising from the handling of information and communication technologies in private and public law. The goal is to train lawyers with strong computer skills or computer professionals with legal knowledge to provide technical and legal expertise to support companies in the digital sector.
The computer science core courses of the master's degree will provide skills and knowledge about computer science, logic, programming, networking, etc. On the other hand, the legal core courses will provide the necessary legal complement to the targeted skills, which include fundamental rights, European and international law related to digital science, contract law, especially as it relates to computer science, intellectual property law, and network and communications law.
The EEEA offers a 2-year master's program according to the standards prevailing in France. The first year consists of two semesters and a short internship, which requires students to write a report related to their professional project. The second-year consists of one semester and a six-month internship. In the second year of the program, students are offered internships or job opportunities in partner companies for better knowledge and career development.
