M2 Advanced Wireless Communications Systems
This cross-disciplinary program aims to convey solid fundamental knowledge in the field of wireless communications, machine learning, and networking as a means to prepare the students for their future professional careers. The curriculum spans a large spectrum of material, ranging from information theory and coding to communication theory, networking theory and machine learning (statistical and reinforcement learning, Deep learning, LLM).
The academic year is structured as follows:
- September - February: The academic year begins with foundational courses, where students build a strong background in essential mathematical tools and machine learning. This foundation supports subsequent specialized courses in wireless communication and networking, which provide the key concepts needed for advanced research.
-January - March: the focus shifts to research immersion. Students participate in seminars on advanced topics and begin developing their own research project.
- Finally, from April onward, students undertake a full-time internship for a at least four months, in companies or academic institutions, either in France or internationally.
The curriculum provides a wide-ranging education, spanning the disciplines of information theory, coding, communication and networking theory, and machine learning—with a focus on statistical learning, reinforcement learning, deep learning, and large language models (LLMs). The instructors are internationally-renowned researchers in their field. The curriculum is structured in three progressive phases: a Foundational Core of fundamental courses, a Research Immersion involving advanced seminars and a hands-on project, and a culminating Internship with an industrial or academic partner, either in France or abroad.
The career of M2R SAR graduates could be oriented towards all industrial and economic sectors in the field of telecommunications. They could work in higher education institutions and universities as faculty members (professors), in public (CNRS, INRIA, CEA, etc.) and private research sector (industrial research and development departments) and in any telecom sector requiring deep understanding and rigorous scientific reasoning (project managers, research directors, etc.). A survey about the first employment of former M2SAR students has shown that M2SAR students find very shortly after their graduation either funding for pursuing a PhD thesis (CIFRE, doctoral contracts, public grants and scholarships) or a permanent position in the telecommunication sector.
In fact, M2R SAR has an extended network of industrial partners, including Nokia Bell Labs, Orange Labs, Thales Communications, TCL, EDF, SAGEM Communications, Intel Mobile Communications, CEA-LETI, CEA-LIST, Mitsubishi Electric, SEQUANS Communications, Parot/Dibcom, etc. Many Master SAR students join the above companies for their research internship.
-Students having an M1 (i.e. first year of the two-year European Master degree curriculum) in Electrical Engineering and related fields (e.g. Telecommunications, Electronics, etc.).
-Students having an M1 in mathematics, Physics, or Computer Science
-Students having a Bachelor of Engineering (BE) in Electrical Engineering and related field.
-Engineering students can attend this master program in parallel to the last year of their engineering curriculum
