OVERVIEW

A Master in Computer Science can open doors to many new and exciting jobs. 

Take your education one step further with the online Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence and Big Data and get the best possible preparation to access bottleneck professions that are in high demand. 

eBIHAR curriculum is structured around four main blocks of professional IT skills : 

  • Big Data Engineering : collection, processing, storage and utilisation of large volumes of data in Big Data environments. 
  • Artificial Intelligence Engineering : design and implementation of AI solutions based, in particular, on machine learning and deep learning. 
  • Full-Stack Application Development : development of web and mobile applications incorporating artificial intelligence technologies. 
  • Cloud Architectures & Cybersecurity

This online course from the Ecole Supérieure des Technologies Industrielles Avancées (ESTIA) is done in partnership with Datum Academy, France Université Numérique (FUN), Oracle University, and Google Cloud. 

The training enables you to acquire the theoretical and practical skills companies, learn more about Artificial Intelligence and Big Data through academic and Big Data through academic concepts and methods to industrial tools. 

An internship is mandatory: an assignment in a company must be at least 4 months long. It can start between the beginning of April and the end of June. The oral defense will take place towards the end of September. A minimum 4-month mission in a company/research laboratory must be validated, the type of contract is not important. A report is also required on this project. 

COURSES

The MSc eBIHAR comprises 13 academic modules taught by lecturers from the ESTIA engineering school. Each academic module is divided into 6 or 7 units, each of which is taught over the course of a week (≈ 5 hours of study per week). 

All academic courses are offered as MOOC videos, giving you complete flexibility in your learning journey. 

Academic courses are delivered on the Moodle platform. You will find instructional videos, downloadable course materials and detailed case studies. This format is designed to help you easily grasp the concepts and apply them in real-world projects.

FAQ

Employees may be eligible to receive financial aid from their employer.
To submit an application, you must first create an account on our site by clicking on the button Enroll Now. After creating your account, you will be automatically redirected to a page that will allow you to fill in all the information required for your application. You will always be able to return to this file by logging into your account by clicking on the Login button.
To be eligible, you must have a Master 1 or a 4-year Bachelor degree in Computer Science. Candidates with a Master's degree in another field will unfortunately not be considered as eligible, as the training requires extensive knowledge acquired during the previous year in computer science.
Once you have submitted your application on our website, a panel of judges will meet to evaluate your application. You will receive an answer by email, whether positive or negative. If it is positive, you will receive a link to pay your tuition. Once the payment is confirmed, you will receive a confirmation by email within 48 hours, as well as your access to the learning platforms. Your schooling certificate will be sent a few days later by ESTIA.
The online program might be seen more difficult than the residential one as students should demonstrate learning autonomy. For a university course each weekly module (1 or 2 hours on line) requires 5 hours of student work which could lead to 10 hours student activity per week for 2 courses. 
Of course! All our courses, including the MSc eBIHAR, are open to everyone, regardless of your nationality or place of residence. This is the magic of distance learning :)
You could ask for a course transfer (needs justification) on your application form or submit your Oracle certificate if you have it. If you are in this situation, please contact us ! 
You only need a computer and an internet connection.
If you choose to pay in 3 installments, you will be charged once a month on the same day starting with the first payment. For example: if you make your first payment on September 1st, you will be debited on October 1st for the second payment and on November 1st for the third payment.
Every MOOC module is tutored both in P2P mode in the social network of students (within FUN MOOC platform) and with a weekly video chat of 2 hours with the professor in charge of the course. On the Oracle University platform, you can contact your instructor through the tool « Ask instructor » on your course page. And of course, Datum Academy staff is always available to help you through your training !
The diploma will not be marked "online" since both diplomas (online and face-to-face) have exactly the same value in terms of teaching and ECTS delivered.
No, there won’t be a graduation ceremony.
