Maestria en informática y Computación

Presentation

Data Science and Big Data represent a revolution that is already changing the way businesses, healthcare, politics, education, and innovation are done. Data is the key element for any organization, without data management, value cannot be generated or strategies implemented that allow organizations to achieve their goals.

This Masters program, with an emphasis on Data Science and Intelligent Systems, has a professional and research orientation aimed at training highly qualified professionals for the practice of Big Data and Data Science.

Target audience:

The Masters program in Computer Science and Computing with an emphasis on Data Science and Intelligent Systems is especially aimed at graduates of degrees in Computer Science, Systems Engineering, Computer Engineering or related qualifications, such as Software Engineering, Computers, etc.

General objective

The objective of the Masters program in Computer Science and Computing is for students to learn the complete Data Analysis/Data Science cycle: from raw data, with its selection, capture, and storage; through analysis using machine learning techniques and statistical methods, its visualization and dashboard construction, and its application to common Data Analysis/Data Science problems, complying with legal regulations for their use, and applying all this to business management.

Graduate profile

The competencies of the graduate of the Masters program in Computer Science and Computing with an emphasis on Data Science and Intelligent Systems will be those of a professional capable of:

  • Optimally collecting and storing information, which can be of any type (numeric, text, images, video, others), and which will be affected by the 5 Vs: velocity, variety, volume, value, and veracity.
  • Visualizing this information to extract behavioral patterns within the data.
  • Establishing repetitive groupings/patterns and behavior rules of the data.
  • Determining prediction models to establish future behaviors.
