The training provided covers the essential scientific and technical knowledge and skills to be acquired in the field of IT, culture and the humanities. It must enable graduates to access higher studies at Doctorate level or to positions in public or private organizations. The training offers the discovery of the cultural and creative industries and the challenges of their development.

The Master in Continuing Education provides innovative teaching through its online courses and on-site groups. Online teaching offers the opportunity to combine the experiences of international experts. The tools offered by the Moodle platforms, webinars and web TV programs provide multimodal teaching allowing you to understand the lessons taught at your own pace. The on-site groups are organized in the form of research seminars allowing discovery of the scientific environment for pursuing a doctorate. Other groups also offer to take stock of online teaching by working in groups on projects. The work-study program offered within an organization is an asset for acquiring professional experience during the two years of the master's degree.
