- CURRICULUM
STRUCTURE
The Double Master's Degree Curriculum is structured around two academic years in which you will take 72 ECTS from the Master's Degree in Telecommunications Engineering and 54 ECTS from the Master's Degree in Big Data Analytics.
The 126 total credits from the dual curriculum is broken down as follows:
- In the first year, students take subjects for the Master's Degree in Telecommunications Engineering (30 ECTS in each semester). Each semester you will take five core subjects of 6 ECTS each.
- During the second year of teaching, you will take specialty subjects in Big Data Analytics (42 compulsory ECTS and 6 elective ECTS), and the 2 Master's Thesis corresponding to each master's degree.
You will have 24 validated ECTS credits, and on completion you receive two Official Master's Degree qualifications.
