Seems that all schools added a "data science" specialization a few years ago, but of course they can't suddenly become good at it if they haven't done it before.

My master in a no-name French tech school was mostly a software development curriculum, with some DL and scikit-learn courses tacked on. That was for the paper, the actual skills came on the job and online.

France has great engineering schools that are very math focused.

Anyone with a French engineering diploma I would consider for a data science position.
