Why choose computer science ?

For over 40 years,

SUPINFO has been providing a unique opportunity

for anyone with a passion for computer science.

"Because SUPINFO schools in France and abroad offer a caring environment and a high success rate" SUPINFO is not about competition. On the contrary, the accent is put on the relationship between all members of the academy and on the sharing of knowledge. The first responsability of the faculty, staff members and students is to make sure that the knowledge is passed on at all levels of the Academy. The faculty as well as the school alumni are very attached to the school's spirit and values: team spirit, solidarity, sharing, diversity of ideas, tolerance, effort, responsibility are but a few of these values. The result: a success rate of 100% from the 1st year of study to the graduation at the end of the 5th year. "Because SUPINFO offers theory while putting  the emphasis on practice." Throughout their studies, students benefit from both the most advanced technological tools for their laboratory research projects and from extra-curricular activities organized by the school's activity poles: all this combined contributes to the development of our students personnalities, self-assurance and allows them to reveal their full potential. In conjunction with their teachers and other staff members, students participate actively to the pedagogy of the school as collaborators, as they would within the frame of a large international corporation. With this in mind, in addition to large technological projects, our students receive an education in communication, law, management, fiscality and business management. A SUPINFO teacher's main goal is to pass on not only the theory but to expose students through practical exercises to all aspects, industrial or business related, of the Information technology field.

"Because SUPINFO is not only a French but a Global Computer Science School." The five year long graduate and postgraduate studies are rewarded by the obtention of an International European Master of Science. Not only is the school French State accredited but it has also been widely recognized by  IT world leaders such as Microsoft, Cisco, Oracle, IBM, HP, Apple, etc...). Riding on the success it has encountered in Paris, the school is now present in 22 regions located all over France and in the French Overseas regions. Its development has now taken on an international perspective wih the opening of schools in Europe, Asia and North America to be followed shortly by others all over the world. "Because at SUPINFO, the emphasis is not put on mathematics but on hands-on practical IT training from the first year of the curriculum." As opposed to traditional engineer schools, SUPINFO does not impose upon its students the pressure of an education based for the most part on mathematics and physics. IT being a specialised subject in itself, SUPINFO offers as wide and general an eductaion as possible when it comes to computer science. There are no options to choose from: all the subjects are included in the curriculum providing students with a real know-how which enables them to become immediately operational and guarantees they are able to embrace any  career in the  information technology field.   Choose mobility!

"In Paris, in 22 French regions and abroad, SUPINFO offers a state-of-the-art technological environment at the service of education"

With the latest in terms of equipment, SUPINFO offers cutting-edge technology  through state-of -the-art tools which are fully integrated in the school's educational system. Each student is equipped with a laptop (students must purchase their own laptops but can take advantage of special negotiated rates) which is linked to the school wireless network. This technology available throughout the entire SUPINFO schools network allows students to have unlimited access to educational resources while facilitating their researches through the use of Internet. The SGN (SUPINFO Global Network) is the first private transcontinental network for education. It links all the SUPINFO schools (in France and abroad) between them giving students access to  all educational resources available in digital format on their laptop at all time both while on school  campus and from their own homes. This private network provides students with many more applications. For example, each student is given a French telephone number which allows them to place or receive calls, locally or internationally, to or from any SUPINFO members (teachers, staff, alumni, parents, other students) on an IP phone (soft or hard), free of charge. Thus, a student located at SUPINFO Britanny can call, without limit of time and for free, other students who might be at SUPINFO Indian Ocean on the island of La Reunion, SUPINFO Caribbean in La Martinique, SUPINFO China in Beijing, SUPINFO Paris or SUPINFO Alsace in Strasbourg. Of course, he can also be reached at all times by any remote interlocutor from any type of telephone. Mais ce réseau privé permet beaucoup plus : Tous les étudiants de SUPINFO disposeront d'un numéro de téléphone national français personnel mis à disposition par SUPINFO Paris et sont joignables ou peuvent effectuer des appels en permanence sur IP via un téléphone SIP (soft ou hard). Tous les appels entre étudiants SUPINFO et entre membres du groupe fermé d'utilisateurs de SUPINFO (professeurs, administration, anciens, parents, etc...) sont gratuits quelque-soit la localisation des interlocuteurs. Par exemple, un étudiant de SUPINFO Bretagne, à Saint-Malo peut téléphoner, sans limite, à des étudiants de SUPINFO Océan-Indien à la Réunion, SUPINFO Caraïbes à la Martinique, SUPINFO China à Pékin, SUPINFO Paris ou SUPINFO Alsace à Strasbourg. Il peut naturellement être également joint par un interlocuteur distant disposant d'un simple téléphone ou téléphone portable qui compose alors simplement sur son téléphone normal le numéro d'appel national français de l'étudiant SUPINFO. Ce dernier peut alors recevoir l'appel sur son portable Wifi à l'école ou chez lui et même sur un téléphone fixe (filaire ou DECT) connecté sur le port ATA de son routeur.
