Master's Degree in Data Science and Computer Engineering

Field(s) of education and training (ISCED-F)

• Software and applications development and analysis (0613)

Main focus

; Graduates of this master’s programme will be able to model and solve problems in both the academic and real world, for which a large volume of data is available, regardless of the sphere of knowledge involved. More specifically, graduates will have a solid understanding of advanced techniques of Data Science and Computational Intelligence, which they will use to address these problems. They will also be capable of designing, configuring, implementing, and using computational platforms and networks that provide the necessary characteristics (cost, computational capacity, velocity, storage, reliability, availability, and security) for big data processing. Finally, graduates will have an in-depth knowledge of these techniques in fields such as biomedicine and bioinformatics, optimisation and prediction, advanced control, and bio-inspired robotics.

Competences

Students that have completed the second cycle have the following competencies: – Have demonstrated knowledge and understanding that is founded upon a basis or opportunity for originality in developing and/or applying ideas, often within a research context. – Can apply their acquired knowledge and understanding, and problem solving abilities in new or unfamiliar environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their field of study. – Have the ability to integrate knowledge and handle complexity, and formulate judgments with incomplete or limited information, but that include reflecting on social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application of their knowledge and judgments. – Can communicate their conclusions, and the knowledge and rationale underpinning these, to specialist and non-specialist audiences clearly and unambiguously. – Have the learning skills to allow them to continue to study in a manner that may be largely self-directed or autonomous.

Admission information

Access to Master’s Degree programmes is granted to holders of:
A.1. A Spanish official university degree.
A.2. A degree issued by a Higher Education institution from another European Higher Education Area Member State which allows access to Master Degree’s programmes in that State.
A.3. A degree from a non-EHEA education system, upon verification by the Spanish University that the aforementioned degree accredits an equivalent education level to that of a Spanish university degree and allows access to postgraduate programmes in the issuing country.
A.4. A Spanish Bachelor in Advanced Artistic Education.
A.5. Official Spanish university degrees of Diplomado, Arquitecto Técnico, Ingeniero Técnico, Licenciado, Arquitecto, Ingeniero, Graduado or Máster Universitario.

Specific admission requirements

Access to this Master’s degree programme is granted to holders of a Spanish official university degree of Licenciado or Graduado (Bachelor’s degree), Ingeniero Superior and Ingeniero Técnico (Bachelor’s degree), or equivalent degrees from other education systems, in the fields of Computer Engineering, Telecommunications, Electronics, Physics, Mathematics, and Statistics. Access is also granted to graduates from other Engineering degree programmes who can demonstrate prior knowledge in computer science, communications and/or mathematics.

Grading scale
In the Spanish university system, modules/courses are graded on a scale of 0 to 10 points with the following qualitative equivalence:
0-4,9: «suspenso»; 5-6,9: «aprobado»; 7-8,9: «notable»; 9-10: «sobresaliente». A special mention, «Matrícula de Honor» may be granted to up to 5% of the students in a group provided they have got a «sobresaliente». To pass a module/course is necessary to get at least 5 points.
In cases of recognition of ECTS, professional experience, cultural or sports activities, or student representation no grading will be recorded but, where appropriate, the word «Apto».
