Overview
Master's program Advanced Software Technologies for Communications (ASTC) has as its main objective to provide training in the software engineering subfield in for the design, realization and integration of software systems oriented in the field of telecommunications systems, networks and services. The need for this specialization derives from the high importance of systems in telecommunications systems, networks and services as a whole, covering a wide range of core software, networking and applications. In these these tracks, graduates will have knowledge and skills in defining and specifying initial system requirements, defining and structuring software architectures, specification, validation, design, implementation, testing, integration, integration, maintenance and development of software subsystems. They will there will also be specific skills in the field of security systems.
Who is it for?
The TSAC Master's program is addressed to graduates of with a bachelor's degree in the fields of Computer Science and Technology Information Technology, Electronic Engineering and Telecommunications, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Engineering and Management, Economic Engineering in Electrical, Electronic and Energy Engineering.
