MASTER IN TELECOMMUNICATIONS ENGINEERING Master in Information Health Engineering The UC3M offers you the possibility of jointly studying the Master in Telecommunications Engineering, along with the Master in Information Health Engineering. The former allows you to acquire the training to practice as a Telecommunications 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.
VERSIONS
Two versions of the Master in Telecommunications Engineering are offered: a bilingual version taught on the Madrid-Puerta de Toledo Campus and a Spanish version taught on the Leganés Campus.
Students may select whichever one of the two versions they wish to follow during the admissions process. This choice only affects the first course.
The Master in Information Health Engineering is taught in English in Leganés Campus.
Master in Telecommunications Engineering
The Master in Telecommunications Engineering is a professional Master to replace the Telecommunications Engineering undergraduate degree and enables you to practice as a Telecommunications Engineer, under the provisions of Order CIN / 355/2009 of 9th February.
The Spanish Association of Engineers requires professionals, from companies in the telecommunications field (major manufacturers of telecommunications equipment or telephone service providers) and from other companies, institutions or organizations that need qualified personnel to design and maintain their own telecommunications systems.
The overall aim of the Master in Telecommunications Engineering is to train professionals who are competent to practice as Telecommunications Engineers. The Master is geared towards advanced training and enhancing employability
Master in Information Health Engineering
The Master in Information Health Engineering emerges as an answer to the increasing demand of researchers with an interdisciplinary background in the fields of information technologies and bioengineering. Nowadays, the intersection of these two areas stands out for its enormous potential in both research and application: the role of machine learning, signal processing, data science, and artificial intelligence is becoming crucial in almost any field and particularly in health engineering applications. Significantly, both public and private investing in research related to these areas has an enormous social and economic impact. In fact, companies such as Philips, Siemens, Microsoft, IBM, Amazon, Google or Apple, to name just a few, are demanding this research profile.
This Master combines the disciplines of information and health engineering with the goal of training researchers to become experts in signal and data analysis tools, with special emphasis on their use on medical signals and images. The training provided by the master's degree will have a strong theoretical foundation, allowing future graduates to apply their knowledge to design innovative methods of information processing and providing the basis for subsequent doctoral studies and/or R&D activities in industry.

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 48 ECTS from the Master's Degree in Information Health Engineering.
The 120 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 Information Health Engineering (6 compulsory ECTS and 30 elective ECTS), and the 2 Master's Thesis corresponding to each master's degree.
You will have 30 validated ECTS credits, and on completion you receive two Official Master's Degree qualifications.
