WHY ENROLL IN THIS PROGRAM?

Asset n° 1 

Acquire a solid scientific background in human-computer interaction, computer graphics and design

Asset n°2

Gain experience with a research internship

Asset n°3

Prepare for a career in academia or an industry R&D department

The Interaction, Graphics, and Design major is a computer science degree that provides comprehensive coverage of human-computer interaction, computer graphics, and design. The program trains students to design and create advanced interactive computing systems. It also provides them with fundamental knowledge and practical methods, as well as introducing them to advanced techniques in topics such as human-computer interaction, design, computer graphics, augmented/virtual reality, and multimodal interaction. Students can choose to study the field in breadth or focus on a specific subdomain.

Objectives

  • Explore the fundamentals of interaction, design, and computer graphics through a multidisciplinary approach
  • Gain technical skills and concrete applied methodologies for making user interfaces and interactive 3D applications adapted to user needs
  • Solve theoretical and applied problems with significant time devoted to projects, workshops, sprints and practical classes
  • Become familiar with research and scientific work through a scientific project in the first year and an internship in the second year
  • Prepare for a career in academia or industrial R&D.
  • Position in research or industry, especially in research and development labs
  • PhD studies benefiting from the vast scientific ecosystem at the Institut Polytechnique de Paris and world-renowned research labs in France (INRIA, CNRS, CEA)
  • Application fields include interaction design, computer-aided design, augmented and virtual reality, video games, special effects, visualization, and mobile and web computing.

Courses are subject to change.
