Part-time | Paris
Highlights
Transversal teaching covering all aspects of the profession of network architect in cybersecurity evolving with the needs of the market.
A focus on the key issues of the sector: processing speed, availability, energy efficiency and very high speed.
PART-TIME: a work-linked training course that allows you to be confronted with business issues and to apply the knowledge you have acquired in a concrete way while keeping your job (6 days of classes per month).
This training is registered in the Répertoire National des Certifications Professionnelles (Order of 04 January 2019 – Journal Officiel) for 5 years.
Presentation
The network and IT security sector is currently marked by spectacular dynamism, linked to the explosion of communicating applications (Internet of Things, digital enterprise, online video, etc.) and the development of cloud computing technologies.
Service and infrastructure providers as well as their customers are now looking for specialists capable of having a clear and precise vision of all the equipment, platforms or networks to be deployed while ensuring the security of their data.
The approach adopted with the Post-Master’s Degree at Télécom Paris responds to this demand by giving priority to teaching through research, capable of understanding today’s solutions in the light of the developments envisaged by research work. The composition of the teaching staff brings together teachers and researchers to :
- develop the most advanced research,
- stay in touch with business needs and applications.
In parallel with this scientific teaching, the School’s « company department » provides field experience by multiplying contacts with companies, via projects based on real data.

Level of French required
All our Post-Master Degrees demand a very good level in French language in order to feel comfortable in following the classes that are long and complex, to understand the nuances of the French language, even the most subtle, and be able to take your written exams in French. A C1 level in French is the minimum required. A C2 level is even recommended. The better you will speak French, the easier the understanding of your classes will be, which is the key of your success in your studies.
Program
The program takes place over a period of 10 months of work-study training (6 course days/month) followed by a professional thesis internship of 4 to 6 months.
