Name of the programme: Master's Degree in Web Engineering

Degree awarded:

Master

Qualification Level : Second Level

Programme Objectives;

Profile:

The goal of this Master's Degree in Web

Engineering is to specialize engineers in Web

Technologies.

This Master offers a highly specialized training

in Web Engineering, with a solid background

in all competencies of Computer Science. It

provides students with the necessary

management skills to make decisions within

the business and institutional world in an

increasingly complex and dynamic web

environment.

This Master's programme allows students to

gain access to PhD studies in the field of

Computer Science (if the student decides to

complete his/her doctoral thesis later). The

profile of Doctor in the field of Computer

Science is, nowadays, one of the profiles with

more professional projection because of the

lack of this type of research professionals that

are needed to take up managing positions in

R&D and innovation departments in research

centres and in the business sector.

Programme Duration (Semesters; in case of “terms” of different

length, indicate them and the equivalent in semesters)

Four semesters

Total Number of ECTS Credits Awarded: 120 ECTS

Brief Description of the Programme:

This Master's course consists of 120 ECTS

credits. The programme is designed to provide

students with a single degree with two

possible specializations: professional and

academic. Taking into account both study

tracks, this Master is divided in the following

modules:

Basic module (20,5 ECTS). This first module

has been designed to develop several skills

and capabilities that constitute the basic

foundation for more specialized training later.

Compulsory module (56,5 ECTS). During this

module, students will acquire the main

necessary skills that are compulsory for all the

master's graduate.

Professional specialization module (21 ECTS).

This module consists of specialized subjects to

provide students with specific professional

skills for their future professional career.

Academic specialization module (21 ECTS).

This module has been designed to develop

students' research capabilities. It‘s an

introduction to new technologies that are still

being developed and it includes, in its learning

objectives, those skills that are needed to

conduct researches and for the later

preparation of their doctoral thesis.

Master's Thesis (22 ECTS). Regardless the

study track they choose, all students must

complete their Master's Thesis.

During the school year, subjects are taught in

a sequential and exclusive order, that is, from

the moment a subject begins, students devote

themselves to that subject until it concludes.

Examples of Very Good Practice:

Accredited without / with Adjustment

Requirements

Accredited with Adjustment

Requirements

Adjustment Requirements:

- The University must provide a budget

for the renewal of classroom computer

equipment and improve the server of

virtualization and other economic

needs that could influence the smooth

running of the degree (perishables,

etc).

- The University must review the access

routes to the Masters in order to enable to all graduates of different areas who come on to the course but who are not from the same informatics background to attend complementary training, when

necessary. For example, currently graduates in Telecommunications can

have direct access to the Masters but as they come from a wide range of areas, these graduates can face difficulties following the curriculum and ensuring that the learning

outcomes established by EQANIE are met at Masters level, especially in relation to basic concepts of computing.
