The Oracle track integrates Oracle University's industrial learning paths into each of the four skill blocks. Once enrolled, you receive an activation link giving you access to these paths on the Oracle MyLearn platform.

The MSc eBIHAR comprises 14 academic courses taught by lecturers from the ESTIA engineering school and its partner universities, complemented by Oracle University's industrial learning paths. Each academic course is divided into 6 or 7 modules, each delivered over 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.

Oracle courses are accessible on the Oracle MyLearn platform, through the activation link you receive once enrolled. They include on-demand videos, demonstrations, quizzes and hands-on labs. Official path and certification titles are in English; the courses are generally multilingual.

Ten Oracle University learning paths are open to master's students, across the four skill blocks. Certification exams are paid directly to Oracle, around 245 USD each; the OCI Architect Associate exam is free. You choose which certifications you wish to sit.
