Academic calendar • France • 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. Undergraduate calendar Postgraduate calendar Why internships matter At a glance Classes are intensive because the professional stage is part of the programme. 30 ECTS final internship / professional experience, evaluated as academic work. Paid longer internships in France are paid by law, with DSTI students typically above the legal minimum. 1/year professional certification preparation reinforces employability before graduation. 01 — Academic overview ## 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. 01 ### Induction Students enter the programme, confirm expectations, meet the school rhythm and understand how classes, platforms and support work. 02 ### Classes Teaching periods are concentrated so students can build technical knowledge while keeping space for projects and professional preparation. 03 ### Projects & exams Assessment combines examinations, assignments, technical projects and the progressive validation of academic learning outcomes. 04 ### Career support CV, profile, certification preparation, internship search and employability support start before the final professional stage. 05 ### Professional experience The internship or professional experience is supervised, evaluated and integrated into the academic route leading to graduation. 02 — Undergraduate routes ## 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.

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. 03 — Postgraduate and Executive routes ## 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.

Executive learners need academic structure that respects professional constraints. The calendar combines flexible access, structured progression and applied professional relevance without reducing academic expectations.

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. 05 — Find your route ## Read the calendar with your programme in mind.
