Master in Internet of Things: Applied Technologies

The curriculum of the master's degree is divided into four modules, which are detailed below:

• MODULE 1 | KEY ELEMENTS IN IOT SYSTEMS
  It is proposed to facilitate students' immersion in this type of technology and, at the same time, to assess the impact of IoT solutions in different sectors and fields.
• MÓDULE 2 | IOT TECHNOLOGIES
  It covers the different technologies associated to it: electronic design, communications, control systems, etc. This second Module presents a more practical character and also aims to introduce the future trends in the field of IoT in the different application sectors.
• MÓDULE 3 | IOT SERVICES AND APPLICATIONS
  This module aims to introduce the relevance of IoT services and applications in present and future businesses, as well as to assess their trends in different sectors. It also aims to respond to the new needs of the labor market and companies.
• MÓDULE 4 | ELECTIVES
  This module allows students to specialize in an area of interest within the IoT field. This module offers electives covering different specific and advanced aspects of IoT.

Application

The request is made electronically through our application. Before starting the admission process, please, read the following information:

• Documentation that must be uploaded to the on line application
• Calendar and general information about admission 
• Follow the step-by-step instructions in the application for admission

REQUIREMENTS

The access requirements for students must be in accordance with the studies to be undertaken:

• Students of Industrial Engineering, Telecommunications Engineering and Computer Engineering who recently finished their studies and are interested in the technologies and applications of IoT, and who are also looking for professional guidance according to this technology.
• Engineers from the old degrees, who want to recycle themselves and adapt their knowledge to the technologies associated with IoT.

If necessary, the Academic Committee will establish the appropriate basic training to access the Master according to the admission profiles.

Previous professional experience is not a prerequisite, although it will be valued positively.

FORMATIVE COMPLEMENTS

Some Formative Complements have been proposed to cover the deficiencies that students from the Industrial Engineering branch (complements in Computer Science and Telematics) or from the Computer Engineering branch (complements in Signal Theory and Electronics) may have, in aspects related to communications and computer systems: Communications and IT systems in IoT (6 ECTS).

At the time of admission to the Master's program, those who must take this complement will be notified that they must register for the course and take it during the two weeks prior to the beginning of the course (check schedules here).

ADMISSION CRITERIA

The selection will be made on the basis of the following criteria:

ADMISSION PROFILE

As the Master is oriented to technologies, it will be focused on engineers and graduates in different engineering fields.

We can distinguish two main groups of students:

1. students from Spanish (or foreign) universities, particularly from the Madrid region, who: a) have completed degrees in Industrial Engineering, b) students who have completed degrees in Telecommunications Engineering, and c) students who have completed degrees in Computer Engineering.
2. professionals related to the industrial and service sectors who need to update their knowledge in order to implement the technologies associated with the Internet of Things.

Language requirements

Check the general language requirements required to study a Master’s at UC3M, depending on whether it is in Spanish, English or bilingual.

students with foreign university degrees

Once admitted to the Master’s, students with university degrees issued by a higher education institution belonging to an educational system outside the EHEA, must provide, for enrolment, the diploma, legalized by diplomatic procedures or by means of The Hague Apostille. They must also submit the transcript of records, with the grade point average, duly legalized.

More information about Legalization of Foreign Documents.

If needed, documents must be accompanied by an official sworn translation into Spanish.
