Program Objectives
The second year of the Master's in Computer Science with a specialization in Artificial Intelligence, Systems, Data - Computer Science is a program offered by PSL University, supported by its components Paris Dauphine-PSL University, École normale supérieure, and École des Mines de Paris. The IASD Master's program offers a comprehensive M2-level curriculum designed to train students with solid theoretical knowledge and practical experience in state-of-the-art artificial intelligence and data science.
Backed by the research laboratories of PSL University and the Interdisciplinary Institute for Artificial Intelligence PR[AI]RIE, the IASD Master's program is a program of excellence that opens the door to careers in research and development in public or private research laboratories or innovative companies.
The master's program offers two distinct tracks, IASD - Computer Science and IASD - Mathematics (formerly MASH), which share most of the courses but differ in terms of the core courses specific to each track. Both tracks lead to master's degrees in Computer Science and Mathematics and Applications, respectively.
The Master's program selectively recruits students who have completed a first year of a Master's degree in Computer Science or Mathematics, as well as students in their final year of engineering school (or who have obtained an engineering degree) and those from comparable international programs.
Training objectives :
- A deep understanding of the conceptual, semantic, and algorithmic questions posed by artificial intelligence and data science ;
- Gain both a general and an in-depth understanding of the various facets of AI ;
- Train students to have a sound theoretical background and extensive practical experience in artificial intelligence and data science.
Courses locations : Courses are held at 16 bis rue de l'Estrapade, 75005 Paris.
When you enroll in a Master's program, you also join Université PSL. Ranked in the top 50 universities in the world (THE and QS), PSL offers excellent graduate programs at the Master's and PhD level, which benefit from the scientific capabilities of its member institutions. The degree is prepared at Université Paris Dauphine-PSL and awarded by Université PSL.

The challenges of the ecological and social transition in the Master's degree programs
Several courses and tools are offered to students in the Master’s program, regardless of their specialization
- “Ecological Transition and Social Responsibility” Certificate
- “Dauphine Durable” SPOC A common base of knowledge in the areas of ethics, social responsibility and sustainable development. It tackles the basics of CSR: control, human resources, finance, marketing, strategy, climate issues and the environmental transition.
- “Managing SDGs” SPOC A unique learning experience in which students from multiple countries work together on real-life case studies.
- Virtual University of the Environment and Sustainable Development At PSL, Dauphine is a founding member of Université Virtuelle Environnement et Développement durable (Virtual University of the Environment and Sustainable Development), which allows it to provide its students with a set of resources and MOOCs.
