* The abbreviations in brackets refer to the subject area to which the subject belongs.
The course programme is divided into 6 subject areas containing 31 compulsory and optional subjects. Subjects have been grouped by content, or thematic blocks, in order to provide coherent training related to current areas of research in the departments involved in teaching this course. Furthermore, one of the subject areas consists of two subjects that address research methodology and scientific work, an essential element in the context of a scientific environment where correct procedures and communication of results are crucial.
A brief description of these subject areas is given below:
According to the Regulations of the University of Alicante, the following requirements must be complied to have access to official taught Master’s degrees:
- Non- recognised degree certificates shall require a technical report showing an equivalence statement issued by the University of Alicante (ContinUA – Continuing Education Centre), for which the corresponding fee should be paid.
- Access through this way does under no circumstances imply prior official approval of the holder’s degree certificate, nor its recognition for purposes other than studying a master's degree.
1.- Admission profile
To be considered suitable for admission to the University Master’s Degree in Information Technology at the University of Alicante, applicants should hold one of the following academic titles:
2. Assessment criteria
The selection criteria employed by the Master’s Academic Committee are:
(a) A Higher Qualification or Degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Telecomunications Engineering, Industrial Engineering or related areas.
b) Level of achievement reflected in the academic record.
c) Grades obtained in the subjects related to the Master’s Degree.
In the event that places remain vacant, in the first instance they will be allocated to applicants holding a Diploma or 3-year engineering degree qualification in Computer Science and thereafter to applicants holding a 3-year engineering degree qualification in Telecommunications. Admission of the aforementinoed applicants will be determined as follows: in addition to criteria (b) and (c), the number of credits successfully completed in the following subjects, which form part of the course programme for the Computer Engineering Degree at the University of Alicante, will also be taken into account.
During the selection process, the Master’s Academic Committee will consider subjects similar to those detailed above, which have been taught in courses given at the University of Alicante or other universities.
The Master’s Academic Committee will also clearly specify the selection criteria employed for admission to the course. These criteria will be made publicly available and will be detailed on the official web page of the Master’s Degree course throughout the pre-enrolment period. Where an application for admission is rejected, the Master’s Academic Committee will inform the person concerned via a written report explaining the rationale for their decision.
