The École Pour l'Informatique et les Techniques Avancées (EPITA School of Engineering and Computer Science), better known as EPITA, a private French grande école with a focus on computer science and software engineering was founded in 1984 by Patrice Dumoucel. It is a private engineering school located in Le Kremlin-Bicêtre, south of Paris, which has been a part of the IONIS Education Group since 1994. It is also accredited by the Commission des titres d'ingénieur (CTI) to provide the French Diplôme d'Ingénieur.
The bachelor's and master’s programs at EPITA, a bilingual college, are taught in both French and English. More than 80 notable universities in 40 different countries have formed strategic alliances with the school, and several dual-degree arrangements have been established.
Additionally, EPITA offers possibilities to participate in cutting-edge research with an intellectually diverse staff capable of not just individual academic brilliance but also knowledge creation and application as part of an interdisciplinary research team.
EPITA also hosts career events and has a long list of business relationships (including Google, Microsoft, Orange, Facebook, IBM, and HP). French and international businesses are very interested in hiring EPITA graduates. Before graduating, more than 96% of students are given a permanent employment offer. More than 8,000 graduates are employed now in more than 40 countries and over 2,000 businesses.
The staff at the school consists of experienced pros with outstanding qualifications who are passionate about training and inspiring their students. The institution also gives students a range of opportunities to work on real-world projects, network with industry leaders, and get experience in their chosen disciplines. EPITA is a fantastic choice for students interested in a career in engineering or computer science because of its properly thought-out curriculum, skilled faculty, and first-rate facilities.
The school is based on its master's programs rather than bachelors. However, EPITA offers one BSc program, which is computer science.
