This decision recognises an innovative educational model, conceived when the school was founded in 2020: a hybrid programme combining technical expertise, an understanding of organisations, ethical issues, societal impacts and responsibility. By joining the ranks of institutions that hold state recognition, accreditation and, now, a Master’s degree, aivancity reaffirms its position as a key player in artificial intelligence education in France.

Recognition that resonates with all stakeholders

The award of the Master’s degree sends a clear and defining message:

• For students, it guarantees a high-calibre qualification, recognised both in France and internationally, which enhances their employability and enables them to access demanding professional or academic opportunities.
• For families, it provides the assurance of a rigorous, secure programme of study, based on high academic standards and personalised support.
• To teaching staff and researchers, it validates an approach in which scientific excellence, pedagogical innovation and societal relevance advance in a coherent manner.
• For businesses and partners, it confirms that graduates possess the essential skills to understand, deploy and oversee AI with a view to sustainable, responsible and ethical performance.

At a time when mastery of AI is a strategic issue for technological sovereignty, this recognition positions aivancity amongst the institutions capable of training the talent that today’s economy needs.

A rapid rise hailed by the academic community.

This success is part of a consistent trajectory:

• 2021: RNCP Level 7, confirming the relevance of the professional skills developed.
• 2023: State recognition and accreditation, validating the institution’s standing, academic rigour and the quality of its graduate employment outcomes.
• 2026: Master’s degree status, recognising the school’s overall impact, the vitality of its research and its fundamental regional roots.

A transformative programme, designed for impact

The Grande École Programme is distinguished by continuous professional immersion (6 to 9 hours per week on real-world projects), a strong commitment to civic engagement and an ambitious diversity policy. Over the past five years, more than 100 organisations have been supported by the AI Clinic, and graduate employment rates stand at 90–100 per cent. The school also stands out for the growth of its research: 4 chairs, 46 publications – including 19 of A/B rank – as well as its involvement in the France 2030 Adopt’IA project.

We have opted for a multidisciplinary programme, reflecting the current challenges facing artificial intelligence.

This recognition confirms the relevance of our approach, which is closely aligned with the real-world needs of AI.
