Master's Degree in Informatics and Computational Technologies

The Master's Degree in Informatics and Computational Technologies prepares professionals in the area of Information Technology so that upon completion of their postgraduate studies they can develop as managers of computer centers, leaders of computer projects, entrepreneurs in the computer area or as consultants for the implementation of technologies. of information in national and/or foreign companies, university professors giving advanced teaching and researchers in technological development centers. In addition, the program is academically supported by experts in the area of national and foreign information technologies from various universities who support us as visiting professors, most of them with a PhD level.

According to the context of regional, national and international development, it is indisputable that science and technology are important elements in the development of humanity. In Aguascalientes, as in the country, changes are faced and challenges arise due to the need to have a better quality of life for the population.

Within the curricula of the Master's Degree in Informatics and Computational Technologies there are two subjects, Selected Topics in Informatics I and II, in which current issues or emerging technologies are taught; In addition, the subject programs are constantly being updated, thus ensuring the constant renewal of the students and that the general postgraduate program is cutting edge.

The subjects do not have a series, thus preventing the student from dropping out in case of not passing a subject from the previous semester.

Although the classes are face-to-face, the student receives advice and feedback via the Internet and the class material is available electronically.

The program is designed in such a way that the student who only takes the propaedeutics has the right to a Diploma and the student who takes one year of the master's degree will have the right to the Specialty in Computer Science diploma, as well as the one who completes the curricular structure will obtain the title master's degree

It is important to mention that this master's program has international agreements with the United States and Canada to complete a semester of the master's degree in these countries and/or carry out theses related to their area of study.

The lines of research offered by the Master are:

• Engineering / systems approach for the improvement of organizational processes using IT / IS.
• Management models and evaluation of systems and IT in organizations.
• Software engineering technology and learning objects.
