By the end of the course you will have 

  • An in-depth knowledge of the theoretical foundations of computer science;
  • Specific skills in one of the macro areas related to software technologies, systems and networks, bioinformatics, multimedia, dedicated systems, service engineering or security.

In both pathways you will develop

  • The ability to work with a high degree of autonomy, including responsibility for large projects and structures;
  • In-depth knowledge of the scientific method of inquiry, logical-deductive reasoning and inductive methods combined with experimentation;
  • Knowledge of the principles, techniques and methods of designing and implementing computer systems, both basic and applied.

Career Opportunities

Your Master's degree will enable you to work in the design, organisation, development, management and maintenance of IT systems. Some examples of the jobs you may get:

  • IT technician
  • IT and telematics technician
  • Researcher, graduate technician
  • Entrepreneurs and managers of private companies in business, banking and related services.
