Computers are everywhere! On your desk, as tablets or cell phones, embedded in pacemakers or insulin pumps, controlling lights or industrial systems, in cars or planes, in Tv sets or fridges. Computer Engineering applications range from organization management to telecommunications, banks and insurance companies, healthcare, education, justice, defense, and also culture and entertainment. The role of a computing engineer involves the development, management and maintenance of software, while seeking to develop increasingly faster and more comprehensive solutions.
The experts holding an MSc degree in Computer Science and Engineering will be able to analyse, develop and implement complex information systems, in distributed and heterogeneous environments, in permanent technological mutation, which characterize the current information-based society.
Through the training acquired in this programme, students will also be able to confidently develop their activity in the Areas of software engineering, in its multiple aspects, ranging from the conception of information systems for all types of companies to the implementation of complex distributed systems, based on the Internet technologies.
The MSc Degree in Information Systems and Computer Engineering (offered at the Alameda and Taguspark campi) accepts not only applicants with the first cycle in Information Systems, but also students with the first cycle obtained in other higher education institutions, who are interested in complementing their studies at the IST. MEIC offers attractive specializations for students and the market itself, also serving as a basis for students intending to attend post-graduate programmes.
