Educational programmes

TELECOM Nancy is aimed at producing engineers well-versed in the principles of computing science and automation, and experts at integrating computing hardware and software into their products: information systems engineering, networking engineering, software engineering, telecommunications engineering, and systems engineering. Studies are organized into four possible themes and students (at the end of the first common year) have to choose a field they want to learn more about: * IL - ''Ingénierie Logicielle''

Software engineering Software engineering is a systematic engineering approach to software development. A software engineer is a person who applies the principles of software engineering to design, develop, maintain, test, and evaluate computer software. The term '' ...

* SIE - ''Systèmes d'Information d'Entreprise'' (Enterprise Information Systems) * TRS - ''Télécommunications, Réseaux et Systèmes / Services''

Telecommunication Telecommunication is the transmission of information by various types of technologies over wire, radio, optical, or other electromagnetic systems. It has its origin in the desire of humans for communication over a distance greater than that fe ...

* LE - ''Logiciels Embarqués''

Embedded software Embedded software is computer software, written to control machines or devices that are not typically thought of as computers, commonly known as embedded systems. It is typically specialized for the particular hardware that it runs on and has tim ...

* IAMD - ''Masse de Données'' Big Data At the end of each year, TELECOM Nancy students have to do an internship in order to practise their knowledge and be part of the ''Working world'': * First year: a one-month internship in a non-computer science field, in order to discover the everyday life in a firm. * Second year: a two-month internship in a computer development field. * Third year: a six-month engineer internship. Also, the third year can happen in another school or university. You can use a few networks the school is connected to: * ERASMUS, giving access to many schools in Europe. * CREPUQ, giving access to Canada's schools. * Or simply stay in the network of schools that are partners of the Université de Lorraine, as is TELECOM Nancy.
