The department of Data, Statistics and Software Engineering trains multiskilled engineers in the processing of information, both in its statistical and computational forms, for use in various business professions. Given the cross-disciplinary nature of IT and statistics as disciplines, the areas of activity in which they appear are numerous, especially in the tertiary sector and the IT aspects of the secondary sector.
Apart from the teaching of scientific concepts and the mastery of the tools used, the courses taught place particular importance on the learning of methods (ie the qualities of rigor, curiosity and inventiveness in scientific approaches) and the development of the personality of the student (communication and listening skills, team work, autonomy…)
During the 3rd year (semesters 5 and 6), courses focus mainly on the teaching of fundamental subjects, based on the three main areas of specialisation of the department – IT, statistics and humanities. The specific classes offered to student engineers depend on the particular areas of previous study.
During semesters 7 and 8, the student engineer deepens his/her knowledge of statistics (statistical modelling, exploratory statistics…), IT (object-oriented programming, architectural software, data bases, advanced systems….) and project management (information system projects, project management…). During this year, greater emphasis is placed on projects carried out in groups.
During the 9th and 10th semesters, the student chooses a specialisation through the choice of optional courses. These include software engineering, data mining, statistical methods for marketing, the mathematics of new financial products, bio-statistics…The specialization is also determined through the choice of final year project and placement.
Classes are taught in French.

Associated research unit :
- CRIStAL - (computer science, signal and automatic control : covers many digital science thems, from the most theoretical to the most applied... artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, digital health, robotics)
- Laboratoire Paul Painlevé - (probability and statistics, associated with the CNRS)

In most cases, the lecturers in this speciality carry out their research activities within these laboratories. The student engineers can thus undertake projects or work placements in areas related to the specialities of these research laboratories.
