SCHOOL PROPOSING THE MASTERS PROGRAM
Telecom Bretagne, a "grande école" which is part of Institut Mines-Télécom, a leading French higher education andresearch force in engineering, with12,500 students.
LOCATIONTelecom Bretagne is located in Brittany,one of the most visited areas in France dueto its breathtaking landscapes andseascapes as well as its numeroushistorical treasures. Its campuses are welllocated and include halls of residence: inBrest, in the centre of the Science Parkoverlooking the entrance to the Bay and inRennes, in the centre of the Research Park.

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTIONThis program is taught in English andincludes progressive immersion in theFrench language and culture.
ENVIRONMENTThe explosive growth of networks, bothfixed and mobile, has led to the design,study, assessment, deployment, andadministration of highly complex,distributed communicationinfrastructures. Powerful forces arebehind these innovations: high-speedconnectivity for users, great mobility(cellular networks, WiFi, LTE…) andseamless, ubiquitous access to theInternet. Network infrastructures andservices, which were previously separate,are being integrated and interconnected,thus opening the way for new markets,new uses and new applications.Convergence is everywhere: theconvergence of telephone, data andcontent-distribution networks; theconvergence of infrastructure-based andad-hoc networks, with the arrival ofhybrid/mesh networks; the convergence ofcellular and local wireless networks; andthe convergence of services from both thefixed and mobile worlds.
COURSE AIMSIn spite of the ubiquity of the IP protocolsuite, this convergence does not meanthat networks will become the samethrough one single technology, rather thatthey must be highly interoperable. It iscrucial for technical experts to be trainedin order to guarantee the quality of theservices on offer.This Masters program also offers agateway to PhD studies.
PROGRAMThis is a full-time, two-year course dividedinto four semesters:
First semester (in Brest)• Networking fundamentals• Transmission systems• Basics of computer science• Mathematics & signal processing• Bibliographical study• Intercultural workshops• Intensive French language courses (6hours per week)
Second semester (in Brest)• Networks: telecommunication networks,IP networks, mobile networks
• Computer science: software engineeringand object-oriented programming,databases and information systems
• An engineering project in workinggroups of 5 or 6, focused on acquiringproject management experience andapplying knowledge acquired incoursework
• French language (3 hours per week)
Third semester (in Rennes)• Fundamentals of convergent networks• Networks, quality of service andmultimedia
• Mobile networks and networkconvergence
• Services for communication networks• New network architectures• Networking research seminar• Project: During this semester, studentsalso work on a short project. Thisproject, which can be either doneindividually or in pairs, may takedifferent forms: software development; abibliographical study of a researchsubject; participation in the design,setup or assessment of researchtestbeds, etc.… For this project, studentswill work either with an industrialpartner or with a research team fromthe Networks, Security & Multimediadepartment at Telecom Bretagne
• French language courses (3 hours perweek)
Fourth semesterThis semester is spent carrying out adevelopment or research project in anindustrial or academic laboratory inFrance or abroad.Upon completion of the four semesters,students defend their Master Thesis.
