Master's Degrees (R.D. 1393/2007)
Professional Master's Degrees
The new Master's Degree in Informatics Engineering will be implemented in next academic year 2013-2014.The Master of Informatics Engineering is a course focusing on professional practice. This degree course develops and furthers training related to leadership and management, and rounds out and focuses on specialized technologies associated with a broad spectrum of ICT job profiles. Graduates of the Master of Informatics Engineering are practitioners that have a broad scientific, technological and socio-economic grounding, trained to lead and manage development and application projects in the field of computing. Additionally, the Master program will allow students who wish to register in different certifications highly valued in the current labor market.
- Master’s Programme in Digital Innovation
The main objective of the Master's Degree in Digital Innovation is to train professionals capable of innovating and bringing to market the results of research and innovation in cutting-edge technologies. To do this, this program not only prepares the students to be the best possible technologists in their specialization, but also seeks to acquire an entrepreneurial mentality that allows them to anticipate the changes that occur due to new technologies (in their specialty) and devise and develop new products that remain at the forefront of those changes, as well as translating those innovations into feasible business solutions.
- Master’s Programme in Digital Innovation: Data Science (EIT Digital Master School)
The Master’s Programme in Data Science that belongs to EIT Digital and is a specialization of the Master's Degree in Digital Innovation, offers a unique program in which students will learn data science, innovation and entrepreneurship. The main contents of this program are: scalable data collection techniques, data analysis methods, and tools for capturing, processing, storing, transferring, analyzing and visualizing data.
- Master’s Programme in Digital Innovation: Fintech (EIT Digital Master School)
The Master’s Programme in Fintech that belongs to EIT Digital and is a specialization of the Master's Programme in Digital Innovation, offers a unique opportunity to enter the world of technologies with application or potential application to finance, insurance and property. In a digital world where everything is handled by technologies that advance very quickly, it is of great importance to have a series of skills that allow you to compete in a world led by the most relevant and current technologies. The program aims to give students the skills that allow them to create innovative technologies for professionals who have to deal with fintech, insurtech and proptech technologies. The master's programme offers the possibility of studying in two European institutions with different specializations that will guarantee the student an acquisition of the most up-to-date knowledge in the fintech area.
- Master’s Programme in Digital Innovation: Human-Computer Interaction and Design (EIT Digital Master School)
The program in Human Computer Interaction and Design that belongs to EIT Digital and is a specialization of the Master's Programme in Digital Innovation, focuses on the analysis and study of interaction, design, evaluation, innovation and entrepreneurship of interactive systems with a strong focus on user-centered design techniques: understand human capabilities and the consequences of using information technology as a tool to solve work-related tasks, and develop and evaluate systems; placing the user at the center of the design process.
- Master of Science in Health & Medical Data Analytics (EIT Health)
The Master's Programme in Health and Medical Data Analytics belongs to EIT Health and is a specialization of the Master's Programme in Digital Innovation. The main objective of the Master is to train a new generation of medical engineers by combining knowledge about health technologies in the field of innovation and entrepreneurship. This program will prepare students in an emerging field of the cross-sectoral area between health informatics, information science, and analytics. The Master in Health and Medical Data Analytics is designed to be carried out over a period of two academic years at an advanced level, including a period of one academic semester at one of the European universities participating in the program (University of Grenoble, Technical University of Lisbon and Friedrich-Alexander University) in accordance with EIT Health requirements to ensure international mobility between organisations.
This master's degree, linked with the professional practice of informatics engineering, provides thorough training in subjects related to business leadership and management within the field of information technologies. This grounding is supplemented and specialized through instruction in technologies associated with a broad spectrum of job profiles within this field. Graduates of this master's degree will have acquired the communication, leadership and decision-making skills required to be able to start up their own business or take up management positions in established ICT companies.
The European Master on Software Engineering trains software engineering professionals to work in an international setting, developing competences related to both software project management and technical issues. The programme covers both the state of the art of research in the discipline and the current state of industry practice.
Research Master's Degrees
This master's degree covers training needs across a broad spectrum of branches of science and many engineering disciplines. These needs emerge from the support provided by computing to the multidisciplinary field of simulation-based science and engineering and, especially, the underlying modelling, simulation and analysis tools. Consequently, there is a demand in computational science and engineering disciplines for personnel that are increasingly better trained in these techniques. Their importance is such that the weight attached to simulatability is comparable to the significance lent to experimentation and theory in the development of modern science.
The aim of the Master in Artificial Intelligence is to train students to innovate in the field of artificial intelligence on two fronts: invent innovative techniques and methods in the artificial intelligence research field and transfer these techniques and methods to society and industry, coming up with innovative software processes and solutions. This way, computing professionals and, generally, science and technology professionals, will learn more about artificial intelligence to be able to tackle and solve both scientific and technological problems using techniques and methods that are the product of recent research in the field.
This is the natural continuation for higher education degree holders that want to receive sound training in computer software and systems with a research slant. As such, it is ideal for students that intend to study for a doctoral degree.
Software is essential in modern society, and its complexity is growing every day. To guarantee its correctness, security and trustworthiness is utterly important since errors may result in huge problems, including the loss of human lives. Such a guarantee can only be obtained by rigorous proofs which rely on treating code as something amenable to be formally designed. This Master's Degree is shared between three top-level Universities in the Madrid area, and teachers are mostly well-known researchers in this topic.
