Master of Science with Options to Computing, Applied Mathematics

The Master of Science with the option of Computing or Applied Mathematics, is based on its two terminal areas. The student will have a thesis tutor appointed from the second semester to ensure personalized attention that will guide them to organize, plan and develop their protocol. , in addition to giving them the opportunity to develop their skills and generate their own needs to face the problems of their line of research and that they will develop in the research seminars.

The student, together with his tutor, will be able to select the topics to complement his training in the chosen line. The tutor may also recommend mobility and research stays at a national level and preferably internationally for curricular courses and research activities that contribute to the quality of the research carried out by the student.

The Master's is aimed at graduates in the areas: Computer Systems, Information Technology, Computer Science, Mathematics, Information Technology or related areas.

Graduates will be able to do research and participate in the generation of knowledge in the fields of Computing and Applied Mathematics; as well as to identify practical problems and reach their solution by applying the knowledge and skills acquired.

The lines of research offered by the Master are:

• Computing - Software Engineering.
• Computing - Artificial Intelligence.
• Applied Mathematics and Modeling.

General purpose

Train human resources with academic quality, with the knowledge, skills and attitudes to apply and generate knowledge, as well as carry out technological development, in order to contribute to the solution of problems related to Computing or Applied Mathematics in the academic, scientific sector. and/or productive.

The above making use of theoretical and experimental results achieved in a systematic way and with the support of the scientific method, where methods of applied mathematics and computer science are involved, such as analytical, synthetic, inductive and deductive reasoning. , and encouraging the student to carry out research activities in a specific area and to apply, in an integral and creative way, the fundamentals of computing and applied mathematics.

Particular objectives
