The Master in Informatics Engineering admits candidates to is 2nd cycle, the minimum number of credits for the degree is 120 (2 years).
Objectives
The 4th and 5th years of the Master in Informatics Engineering (MIEI) allow students, who possess a Bachelor ’s degree in Computer Science, or related trainee, education in Design Engineering certified with a Master degree in Informatics Engineering with the E2 level of accreditation by the Ordem dos Enginheiros.
The MIEI prepares qualified specialists to develop design activities, project leadership, and innovation. An important component of the Master trainee is the preparation of a Master's dissertation, an individual work of research and/or development exploiting the knowledge acquired throughout the course. This original work was specially designed to be developed in an academic context or in an academic-business collaboration.
