Presentation

The SID programme is a training resolutely geared towards the data engineering professions. It covers all aspects of it: from data collection to statistical exploitation and machine learning, including the storage and management of massive big data databases. It takes place over 3 years from License 3 to Master 2, with a progressive learning of fundamental concepts, methodologies and tools used in data science. In the age of artificial intelligence, the “data scientist” profile of SID students is enhanced by a dual statistical competence - business intelligence, with a specialization in machine learning and databases. This type of profile is highly demanded in various professional fields today, as shown by the 100% hiring rate of our students upon graduation from Master 2. Some examples of projects and internships:

The M2 SID-big data is the last year of the SID-Big Data training. Students can register for initial training or work-study:

  • Work-study contract: One-year professionalization or apprenticeship contract (from September to September) divided into 17 weeks at the university and 34 weeks in a company (according to the schedule established in advance).
  • In initial training: At the university from September to mid-March (with projects), then internship until the end of August. More information in the frame on work-study.

Admission in Master 1 and Master 2 SID

The vast majority of M1 SID students (respectively M2 SID) come from L3 SID (respectively M1 SID). As a result, new entries in M1 or M2 SID are quite rare (no more than a dozen per year). Candidates wishing to integrate the Master SID-big data in the first or second year must submit an application on ecandidate:

  1. for M1: from April 26, 2020 to May 17, 2021.
  2. for M2: from May 3, 2020 to June 4, 2021.
After the closure of the applications, the pedagogical committee will no longer accept new applications or revisions of decisions taken, and we will not respond to these requests. Your request can then be appealed to the president of the university by sending it to: deve.recours-inscriptions@univ-tlse3.fr.
