Início / Study / Master’s degree / Engenharia Informática
Presentation
The Master’s Degree in Informatics Engineering is a complement to the training provided in the area of Information Systems and Technology at IPVC which, in the first cycle, is made up of courses in Computer Engineering, Computer Graphics and Multimedia Engineering and the new course in Network and Computer Systems Engineering. The subsequent cycle offers the Master’s Degree in Management of Information Systems and Technology for graduates from information systems, business, and social science backgrounds, as well as this new Master’s Degree in Computer Engineering.
The master’s degree in Informatics Engineering is based on the study carried out by ANETIE on the main needs and gaps in the training of Computer Engineers, as well as on the European guidelines identified in the document, “Towards a European software strategy – skills and lifelong learning”, working group 6, of 2009, Industry input to the European Commission. The “ACM/IEEE Computer Science Curricula 2013” and the “Curriculum Guidelines for Graduate Degree Programmes in Software Engineering” (GSwE2009) were also used.
Therefore, the master’s degree in Informatics Engineering will certainly contribute to boosting the development of the business fabric in this region, through these specialised human resources and for the improvement of the information systems available to the existing organisations in this geographic area.
Access
Entry Requirements
Access to the Master’s Degree in Informatics Engineering is restricted to:
- Holders of a first cycle higher education (bachelor’s) degree in Computer Engineering, or similar areas such as IT, Systems and IT, Computer Science, Computer Graphics, Communication Networks, Computer Networks, Telecommunications and Information Systems and Technology.
- Holders of a first cycle higher education (bachelor’s) degree in other areas whose academic and professional qualifications assure skills in the areas of Databases, Programming, Operating Systems and Computer Networks.
Goals
Aims
Information Systems and Technologies (IST) represent important support infrastructure for modern society and are growth areas with high employability.
In the current service society, the need for qualified specialists to work in the areas of analysis, design, construction, testing and validation of usable, reliable and secure computer solutions, as well as to plan, operate and monitor the IT infrastructure supporting them, the aim of the Master’s Degree in Informatics Engineeringis to complement the training acquired during the first study cycle in Informatics Engineering or its equivalent, producing specialists in these areas.
The fact that companies in Alto Minho are small and that there are few companies providing support for the development, maintenance or management of IST infrastructure in the region is grounds for a specialised postgraduate training profile, but with various skills in Informatics Engineering. Therefore, after the first year where course units in a number of specialisation areas are taught, it is the student who, in the second year, chooses the area of specialisation they want to focus on for their master’s project.
Graduate profile
- Designing, building and maintaining web, cloud and mobile application services and solutions.
- Planning, implementing and carrying out web, cloud and mobile solution tests.
- Planning, implementing and carrying out system security and performance and other tests.
- Designing, building and maintaining integrated solutions for the Internet of Things.
- Designing, building and maintaining integrated solutions with 2D and 3D interactive visual interfaces.
- Designing, building and maintaining business analytics and data mining solutions.
- Designing, building and maintaining information visualisation solutions, including geographic information.
- Planning, managing and maintaining computing, communication and service infrastructure, including cloud solutions.
- Skilfully planning and managing incremental software projects.
- Designing and implementing IS audit and monitoring plans, particularly in terms of security.
- Self-diagnosis and identification of business opportunities.
- Implementing a business plan and looking for funding sources.
Professional outcomes
There are lots of career prospects available to course graduates, which depend on the choices of master’s project topics made by the candidates. Of note among these are:
- Software Engineer
- Computer Systems Analyst
- Front-end developer / Back-end developer / Full stack developer
- Product specialist and interactive multimedia services (2D and 3D)
- Systems Administrator
- Database Administrator
- Network and Security Administrator
- DevOps Engineer
- Specialist in distributed or mobile system solutions
- Specialist in cybersecurity
- IT Consultant
