Présentation
Objectifs pédagogiques de la formation

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.

Compétences
  • Courses focus on the theoretical and fundamental methodologies and techniques, which are necessary for understanding key advances in the areas of wireless communications, machine learning and networking.

    The career of M2R SAR graduates could be oriented towards all  sectors of telecommunications and machine learning. They could work in higher education institutions and universities, in public (CNRS, INRIA, CEA, etc.) and private research sector (industrial research and development departments) and in any company requiring deep understanding and rigorous scientific reasoning (project managers, research directors, etc.). A survey about the first employment of former students has shown that they 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 a company

    The M2 SAR has an extended network of industrial partners, including Nokia, Ericsson, Orange Labs, Qualcomm, Thales Communications, TCL, EDF, CEA, Mitsubishi Electric, SEQUANS Communications, etc. Many students join the above companies for their research internship.

  • Organisation générale

    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.
