Academic calendars that make room for real professional experience.
Studying at DSTI means following a structured academic journey: induction, concentrated teaching periods, projects, examinations, career preparation, internships and graduation. In France, professional experience is an academic milestone, and DSTI calendars are built around that reality.
A clear sequence from first contact to graduation.
The calendar is the structure that connects academic learning, support, assessment and professional experience into one coherent route.
Induction
Students enter the programme, confirm expectations, meet the school rhythm and understand how classes, platforms and support work.
Classes
Teaching periods are concentrated so students can build technical knowledge while keeping space for projects and professional preparation.
Projects & exams
Assessment combines examinations, assignments, technical projects and the progressive validation of academic learning outcomes.
Career support
CV, profile, certification preparation, internship search and employability support start before the final professional stage.
Professional experience
The internship or professional experience is supervised, evaluated and integrated into the academic route leading to graduation.
Bachelor study is progressive, year after year.
The undergraduate calendar gives students time to move from foundations to applied skills, internships and final progression decisions.
Bachelor programmes
Undergraduate study follows a progressive three-year structure. Students build computing, mathematics, software, data, systems, AI and cyber foundations before moving through applied learning, professional preparation and internship stages.
Foundations first, professional credibility next.
A Bachelor route must protect the early academic foundations while still giving students a visible pathway towards projects, certifications, internships and progression into the labour market or postgraduate study.
The calendar is therefore staged: students do not simply accumulate disconnected courses; they move through a coherent academic and professional sequence.
MSc and Executive calendars are more concentrated, by design.
Postgraduate and Executive learners already arrive with prior study or professional experience. The calendar focuses the teaching periods so that seminars, projects, certifications and professional experience can all fit into a serious academic route.
MSc programmes
DSTI MSc routes combine academic rigour, seminars, projects, professional certification preparation, career development and a final internship or professional experience stage that contributes to the degree.
Serious calendars for professionals.
Executive learners need academic structure that respects professional constraints. The calendar combines flexible access, structured progression and applied professional relevance without reducing academic expectations.
The internship is a formal academic stage.
This is one reason academic calendars in France have a distinctive rhythm: professional experience is built into the degree pathway and must be given enough time.
Mandatory and supervised
The professional experience stage is part of the programme pathway. It is followed academically and connects learning outcomes with professional contribution.
Credit-granting
The final internship or professional experience represents 30 ECTS. It is evaluated and contributes directly to the academic completion of the programme.
Employability starts early
Projects, certification preparation, public profile support, job-board guidance, alumni network access and academic/corporate follow-up are part of the preparation before the final stage.
