The International Institute of Information Technologies

SUPINFO is today a worldwide higher school in Computer science thanks to its own international network dedicated to information technology. SUPINFO has become in France the first higher school in Computer science in term of trained student number and also in term of national coverage. SUPINFO is one of the few higher education schools where information systems training is at the core of postgraduate courses from the very first year of the programme. The Academy provides a general IT training covering all the latest technologies used in today Information Technology industry: software engineering, systems and networks, artificial intelligence, data analysis, internet and intranet technologies, business intelligennce, ERP, multi-media, etc.

In addition, further to SUPINFO Advisory Board request, in an international economic context where Information Technology professionals are destined to be more than just technical experts and to work in a global environment, SUPINFO includes in its training courses human resources, international economics, law and commerce. Thus, law, management, communication techniques, international management and even quality-control management lead to a widely recognized international European Master of Science degree.

IMPORTANT NOTE : The choice of your IT training is crucial for your future. Therefore, we strongly invite you to have a look at other IT training offers available in France and in the world suggested by either private or state higher education schools.

French State accredited, opened to students holding French grants, SUPINFO is strongly supported by the world leaders in the Information Technology industry.

Now present all over the world through its own network of schools, SUPINFO offers unique opportunities for international experience and a dual diploma.
