- CURRICULUM
STRUCTURE
The Double Master's Degree Curriculum is structured around two academic years in which you will take 72 ECTS from the Master's Degree in Informatics Engineering and 48 ECTS from the Master's Degree in Big Data Analytics.
The 120 total credits from the dual curriculum is broken down as follows:
- In the first year, students take subjects for the Master's Degree in Informatics Engineering (30 ECTS in each semester). You will study a total 12 compulsory subjects (6 in each semester) to complete 60 ECTS.
- During the second year of teaching, you will take specialty subjects in Big Data (39 compulsory ECTS and 3 elective ECTS), and the 2 Master's Thesis corresponding to each master's degree.
You will have 30 validated ECTS credits, and on completion you receive two Official Master's Degree qualifications.
