At the end of the MSc DSAI students can work in companies as experts or engineers, in development, research and development, consulting services related to artificial intelligence and machine learning, data processing. They can also continue their training with a doctoral thesis which can be carried out either in an academic research laboratory or in a company, for example with a CIFRE contract.
Students are regularly put in contact with the world of research and business thanks to a research project, case studies, seminars, but also to two compulsory internships.
Testimonials
Joris Limonier, from France
I chose the MSc DSAI because I wanted an English-speaking curriculum that understands the importance of theoretical rigor in Data Science. What I particularly enjoy is the mix between meticulous mathematics and hands-on coding practices. Often, about halfway through a class the professor takes their laptop out and shows us a practical application of what we just studied by programming it.
Another advantage of this Master is the presence of 2 internships, one per year. In my opinion, facing real-life scenarios is a great way to become independent in your work.
Finally, different people have different needs. That’s why most of the second year consists of elective courses, offering the ability to fit to what you actually want from this Master. If you still have recommendations or suggestions, the staff is friendly and will take your feedback into account.

If you want to apply your knowledge in maths & statistics in your day to day job and you really like to play with data, welcome to Data Science.
After my master in computer science, I worked for 15 years in IT industry. I really love to work with data and I realized that I didn’t have the full knowledge to properly leverage that field, extract and exploit the value from data. I then decided to go back at school.
The first weeks were very challenging, I had to work twice as hard mainly to catch-up with the required background in maths and statistics in order to follow-up the main courses. I really appreciate the MSc DSAI because it combines both theory and practice in each course and one have the opportunity to explore topics deeper if wanted. Professors are available, open to discussions and they encourage students to give their best. There is a lot of labs and projects which give the opportunity to practice and train.
The headcount in the class is good (less than 15), multicultural, with different nationalities, we socialize easily, know each other and create a good community.
Franz Franco Gallo, from Peru
The MSc. Data Science & Artificial Intelligence program at Université Côte d'Azur is rigorous and has given me a better understanding of artificial intelligence, from the basics to cutting-edge applications in various fields such as computer vision, natural language processing, time series and more. It has provided me with the skills I need as a researcher and allowed me to make connections with labs in France during internships, which has led me to my current position as a PhD student at INRIA Sophia-Antipolis. Most importantly, the master's program taught me how to develop a research project and how to manage my time.
