MASTER IN INFORMATICS ENGINEERING MASTER IN BIG DATA ANALYTICS The UC3M offers you the possibility of jointly studying the Master in Informatics Engineering, along with the Master in Big Data Analytics. The former allows you to acquire the training to practice as a Informatics Engineer. This study option means you will obtain a high level of specialization and research training that will put you in prime position regarding employment and / or access to Ph.D. studies.
Master in Informatics Engineering
The Master in Informatics Engineering (Computer Engineering) combines advanced training in aspects of Direction and Management of IT projects with other aspects of Information Technology. This training program aims to fulfil its objective by training professionals who are competent to practice as computer engineers.
The program is fully adapted to the recommendations for recognition of official qualifications in the Informatics Engineering Profession, General Secretariat of Universities (BOE 4 August 2009).
The Master is made up of 90 ECTS credits. A group taught in Spanish is offered, divided into three semesters and organized into the following modules:
- Direction and Management: This module provides advanced training in legal matters, technology company management, strategic planning and project management, paying special attention to innovation and R & D management.
- Information Technology: This module allows students to engage in further study of technological aspects typical of computer engineering, which will enable students to gain an overview and detailed knowledge of this area.
- Master's Thesis: This involves preparing a comprehensive project for Computer Engineering with a professional slant.
Master in Big Data Analytics
Our Master program is oriented towards the training of people interested in working in data analytics, and in particular of analytics involving the evaluation of very large volumes of data in companies and organizations. Master’s students, either recently graduated or professionals, will receive both additional formation in the basic foundations of the analytics methods used for Big Data, and familiarity with their potential applications in different areas of interest.
Particular emphasis will be placed on the use of applications based on analytic languages such as R and Python. The courses will also introduce data storage and processing paradigms such as MapReduce or noSQL, and their implementations (Hadoop, Storm, Spark, etc...), as well as cloud storing and computing methodologies. This knowledge will prepare them to handle large data sets and to conduct complex statistical and computational analysis of these data, to obtain results in pattern identification, prediction, forecasting, simulation or optimization, relevant for the improvement of the efficiency in the activities of companies and organizations.
As an illustration of this potential demand, the French government expects that the needs for professionals with these qualifications during the coming five years on the whole of the EU will be in excess of 300,000 persons. In Spain, the use of these techniques is expected to increase by at least 300% in the next three years.
