Master’s degree in line with the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN 2030 Agenda.
Why should you study the Double Master's degree in Computer Engineering and Cybersecurity?
- This Master’s degree will allow you to plan, create, direct and manage computer systems, applications, networks and infrastructures, and protect them from possible security threats.
- The programme provides at the same time the degree:
- University Master’s degree in Computer Science: students will receive advanced training in the computing, big data and machine learning fields.
- Master's degree in Cybersecurity: specialised training in developing safe and efficient software, data and infrastructure protection against attacks and in regulation meeting.
- Specialisation in two of the most demanded and fastest growing professional profiles:
- The European Commission suggests the ITC specialist’s collective represents 10% of all the employment in 2030.
- The 2025 Digital Spain Agenda created by the Government of Spain has included within its goals increasing the number of ITC specialists by 20,000 between 2020 and 2025 in specific areas such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and data analysis.
- The National Cybersecurity Institute believes the talent gap in cybersecurity to be over 26,000 professionals.
- According to the CYD report, Computing enjoys the highest employability and stability rate within graduates.
- Teaching staff with proven teaching and researching excellence.
The Master’s degree in Computer Science has been granted the European Quality Assurance for degrees in the computer engineering area, called the EURO-INF Label.
