Master in Computer Science - Máster en Ciencias Informáticas

The MSc programme is designed for those who desire to deepen their comprehension of all aspects of the computer sciences. Applicants could be graduates from other degrees with a strong mathematical core, or those continuing their academic pursuit after achieving a BSc in computer science.

The programme is heavily geared towards developing students’ professional skills needed for employment, while being able to adapt to rapidly changing technology, to work effectively, professionally and ethically in computing-related professions, as demonstrated by their communications, teamwork and leadership skills. It also motivates and engages students in life-long learning, including entering graduate programmes in Computer Science and related fields.

Year 1

Students begin the programme already having foundational knowledge of programming and mathematics including data structures and algorithms, statistics and machine learning. During the first year their knowledge of mathematics, programming and data analysis will be significantly extended. The programme also offers opportunity to learn the key soft skills for the professional world including technical project management, writing and presenting.

Finally during the first year students are expected to attend many of the talks and workshops offered by the university and being work on the capstone project.
