Within the computer science master's programme, students of the University of Passau can obtain a double degree with the French Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Informatique pour l'Industrie et l'Entreprise in Evry (Paris metro area). This enables them to obtain not only a Master of Science (M.Sc.) from the University of Passau but also the 'Diplôme d'Ingénieur ENSIIE'.
The Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Informatique pour l'Industrie et l'Entreprise is one of the oldest French universities to award the Diplôme d'Ingénieur in the field of computer science. ENSIIE offers various specialised study programmes, for example in the fields of software development and security, virtual and augmented reality, video games, applied mathematics, finance, big data and artificial intelligence.
The cluster 'C-19' was founded on the initiative of ENSIIE. This is where video games and digital interactions are studied and developed – a place where education, research, entrepreneurship and digital culture overlap.
The digital incubator 'IMT starter' supports start-ups in the information and communication sector that have a high potential for innovation and job creation.
If you start your master's programme in the winter semester, you will study the first three semesters at ENSIIE Evry and move to the University of Passau for the fourth semester.
If you start your studies in summer semester, you will complete the first semester in Passau and then study for three semesters in Evry.
The entire master’s curriculum contains 120 ECTS credits, including the master’s thesis.
At ENSIIE, students from Passau can take courses in the following areas: Fundamentals of Computer Science and Engineering, DataScale, CILS (Design Intelligence Software and Systems), SeCrets, RVSI (Virtual Reality and Augmented Systems).
The double master's programme is sponsored by the Franco-German University (DFH). To receive funding, you must register online with the DFH by the end of September.
Financial support is also available through the ERASMUS+ programme. The application for this is to be submitted to the International Office of the University of Passau by 15 March.
Students in the double master's programme do not pay tuition fees at the host university. A semester contribution is due for studying at the University of Passau.
