Concept
The TELECOM Nancy (formerly École supérieure d'informatique et applications de Lorraine or ÉSIAL) is a grande école of engineering created in 1990. It is associated with the University of Lorraine. TELECOM Nancy is a school associated with the Institut Mines-Télécom. It is the only school of generalised engineering studies in IT and digital sciences and technologies accredited by the Commission des Titres de l’Ingénieur (CTI - Engineer Qualification Committee) in the Greater East of France. It was created in 1990 and is based in Nancy, France. The standard curriculum is a three-year program (after two years of preparation) resulting in the French Diplôme d'Ingénieur, which is equivalent to a Master's degree of the European Higher Education Area. 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 SIE - Systèmes d'Information d'Entreprise (Enterprise Information Systems) TRS - Télécommunications, Réseaux et Systèmes / Services Telecommunication LE - Logiciels Embarqués Embedded software 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.
