Bachelor's degree Computer scienceLearning path: Computer science

The objective of this learning path is to give a solid training in the basics of computer science, balanced between the theoretical, fundamental, applied and technical aspects of the field. This path consists of one year shared with mathemetics, physics and mechanics followed by two years focused on computer science. This path is suitable for any student interested in computer science in all its aspects (algorithms, programming, formal languages, architecture of computers, operating systems, networks, graph theory,…).

This learning path gives access, among others, to the computer masters but also other masters related to computer science. In particular, at Aix-Marseille University, the main possible opportunities are :

• Master of Computer Science,
• Master Signal and Image Processing,
• Master of Networks and Telecommunication.

The course Informatics is organized and taught in majority by teachers-researchers of the Laboratory of Computer Science and Systems (LIS). The training offers some optional courses particularly oriented towards research in the third year.

• Identify, articulate and implement the theoretical and technical tools of computer science best adapted to the resolution of a complex computer problem.
• Model a problem, design technical and/or algorithmic solutions, implement them and evaluate them against criteria of efficiency, reliability and quality of design.
• Read and use documents in French or English : documentation, scientific text and specifications. Present orally or in writing the results of a work with clarity, brevity and rigor.
• Use the tools and techniques of IT project management : development environment, version control, production automation and methods of project management.
• Carry out an IT project taking into account the needs of a client, being aware of the existence of non-technical issues. Be introduced to the processes of production, dissemination and exploitation of knowledge and technologies.
• Develop your personal and professional project. Know the issues related to intellectual property, including software licensing, and the protection of privacy.
• Skill specific to the Computer science course : Understand the operation of computer systems (networks, operating systems, architectures, programming languages and database management systems), use their dedicated tools and design interfaces.
