Presentation

Further information

This course is also interesting for students with a general engineering degree (e.g. central schools) and wishing to acquire a complementary skill in optimization. It also hosts students from the first year of master's in Computer science and Mathematics and applications and students in the last year of Grenoble National Polytechnical Institute or Polytech'. The latter undertake this program in place of their last year.

Practica, projects, and missions

A mandatory practicum or research project of 5 to 7 months is carried out in the second semester. It can be done in a research laboratory but also in the R&D department of a company. In this case, a teacher-training researcher ensures the quality of the research training provided. This research project allows good immersion in the world of research, the discovery of the research profession, and preliminary contacts for a possible thesis or employment in an R&D department.
