Presentation

Students will acquire skills in statistical analysis, applying mathematical knowledge to information engineering, and the analysis, design and development of secure computer architectures. They will be trained in advanced network systems, databases and information systems taking into account the security of the data. They will also acquire advanced competence in planning, organization and development of components for intelligent programmes.

Admission requirements

The Master's Degree courses are open to anybody with an official university qualification, even Spanish or foreign (this foreign degree must enable you to be admitted to postgraduate studies in the country where you obtained it).

In addition, universities in charge of the organization of a Master can establish those procedures and requirements considered necessary to be finally admitted to the Master. Therefore, as well as having a previous official degree, you should get informed about additional conditions and selection criteria which may have been addittionally established by each Master.

Contents
