Bachelor's Degree in Informatics Engineering

Computer systems enable to enjoy an improvement in the quality of life. In this sense, Computer Engineering is currently essential in the design and production of large projects such as electronic administration, savings management and internet purchases, the most sophisticated and clean means of transport, and automation solutions. Computer engineering trains qualified professionals to face challenges such as managing and coordinating teams that study the needs of companies and individuals, designing and developing solutions at all levels (material, processing, interconnection, etc.) and adapting the proposals to current standards.

The curriculum includes 48 ECTS of specialisation courses that are grouped into two different itineraries. One is held at the Escola Politècnica Superior in Alcoi and the second itinerary takes place at the School of Computer Engineering.

The curriculum includes 48 ECTS of specialisation courses that are grouped into two different itineraries:

It is desirable that students possess a certain level of personal discipline, dedication to study, work organisation and abstract reasoning skills and for the tackling and solution of specific problems. While prior knowledge is not required, solid mathematics, physics and English language skills are recommended.

Once you complete your studies you may design, develop and assess applications and computer systems, ensuring their reliability, safety and quality. You will be able to manage and maintain applications, computer systems and networks; program applications in a solid, safe and efficient manner, and be able to lead projects, services and computer systems.

According to the latest reports, there is a high deficit of graduates in the sector. The Degree in Computer Engineering qualifies to become a computer engineer that, although it is not a regulated profession, for these purposes it is considered as an equivalent.

Graduates in Computer Engineering are trained to manage companies in the information technology and communications sector (ICT) and informatics departments of companies and public institutions, take on various responsibility roles in development of computer systems, management and direction tasks.

They will be able to carry out their work in disciplines such as artificial intelligence, multimedia design, computer animation, videogame programming, mobile device programming, network and computer systems security, medical informatics, home automation, etc.

The internship completes the student's training so that they can join the professional world with some technical and human experience. Some of the companies or institutions which accept UPV students for work placement opportunities are: Indra, Bull, British Telecom, Iberdrola or the Generalitat Valenciana (Valencia's Government). In 98% of the cases the students receive financial compensation.

Computer engineering students have great flexibility when choosing international destinations in which to study for a semester, carry out their final degree project or take on internships in companies. There are agreements in place with some of the best European universities and also with universities in the United States, China, Japan and Australia.

This degree provides access to: Master's degree in Computer Engineering; Master's degree in Information Management; Master's degree in Parallel and Distributed Computing; Master's degree in Computer and Network Engineering; Master's degree in Software Engineering, Formal Methods and Information Systems; Master's degree in Artificial Intelligence, Pattern Recognition and Digital Imaging; Master's degree in Automation and Industrial Computing.

As in the rest of the cases, students may apply for admission to any UPV master's degree by taking the subjects.
