The Master in Computer Science and Technology offers advanced training in computer science that provide our students with an academic and R&D specialization in the areas of artificial intelligence, software engineering and secure, multimedia and distributed systems.
The Master Program aims at students to acquire advanced scientific and technological knowledge on this subject and master a set of theoretical principles, scientific methods and formal instruments that enable them to carry out research, development and innovation work in this area, all in a flexible way to facilitate its adaptation to a rapidly changing environment such as IT.
Considering the diversity of aspects within the discipline of computing and the speed with which they all evolve, the success of this master is to have a group of specialists, all doctors, very heterogeneous that can cover the range of topics on information technology and who are carrying out leading research in the laboratories of which they are members, as well as the transfer of research results to the industrial sector. You can increase the value of your CV, during your studies in this master, since if you wish you can be linked to one of the research groups to which the experts who teach the master, and you will have an accreditation that guarantees you as a member of that group during that period.
│MASTER IN NUMBERS
