Network, Data and ICT Services Engineering
The objective of this Successive Academic Program is to train specialized professionals in the cutting-edge fields of information and communication technologies (ICT), one of the sectors with the highest demand for professionals, and is made up of
- Bachelor’s degree in Network Engineering (240 ECTS)
- Master’s Degree in Applied Telecommunications and Engineering Management (MASTEAM) (60 ECTS)
In this program, students will acquire solid training to plan, design, implement, evaluate and manage telecommunication networks, services and applications, as well as develop, deploy and validate advanced virtualization technologies, cloud services, security, and the programmability of distributed networks and services. The master's degree complements training in network architectures, composition architectures and automated management of end-to-end distributed services, the Internet, the treatment and analysis of massive data, software-defined networks, sustainability, business models and management of companies in the ICT sector, with application to different fields, including smart cities, Industry 4.0, Internet of Things, 5G and 6G networks, or sensor networks, among others.
Access to this program is done directly in the university pre-registration application.
Pre-registration in one of these programs provides several advantages to the students, such as the possibility of duing the bachelor's and the master's thesis simultaneously, the option to follow an accelerated itinerary to be able to obtain the bachelor's and master's degrees in less time than doing those studies separately (only suitable for students with high academic performance), and the possibility of accessing official doctoral programs by having passed 300 ECTS between the bachelor's and master's degrees. However, students of these programs do not acquire the obligation to follow the master's degree: they can always leave the program and finish only the bachelor degree studies, and they are not obliged to follow the accelerated itinerary either. These programs has a strong component of internationalization, which is why various subjects of the bachelor's degree and all those of the master's degree are offered in English.
The itinerary described below allows you to complete the program in 9 semesters (4.5 years), instead of the 10 semesters that it would take to complete the bachelor's degree and the master's degree separately. However, it is not mandatory to follow it, and the program can be completed in more time. Note, however, that following the indications of the Real Decreto 822/2021, access to the master's degree can only be done when the student has 30 ECTS or less pending (24 ECTS from the TFG and 6 credits from subjects or internships).
