The Master’s Degree in Developing Web Applications and Services has been designed with the aim of teaching students how to develop web-based computer systems and large business systems, applying best practices to software engineering.
The Master's includes three compulsory modules:
- Advanced Software Engineering
- Software Development Technologies
- Server Administration
The Master's also contains two optional routes, each focusing on one of the two following aspects:
Analyzing and Developing New Technologies for the Internet focuses on technologies that substantially improve the interaction and usability of traditional web-based application user interfaces.
Developing Large Systems focuses on learning two types of applications – enterprise resource planning systems and developing large mainframe systems.
| Type of subject | Credits |

| Compulsory (OB) | 52 |
| Final project (OB) | 8 |
| Total credits | 60 |
General objectives
The compulsory section of the program focuses mainly on providing methodological training in the field of Software Engineering, teaching students the most relevant and advanced software methodologies (ranging from the most traditional approaches, such as the Rational Unified Process, to agile processes and applying model-led development methods) and using the pertinent tools to capture and correctly validate requirements which will subsequently be applied to the design and implementation of the software developed. Development is led by good practice through learning and applying those patterns of analysis, architecture, and design that provide the best solutions to the applications in question.
The course also teaches the principles of usability and design required to define a user interface that meets quality criteria. Finally, the course identifies appropriate testing stage practices. Throughout this process, models are established as the most important artifacts in the development process, from which traceability policies are defined in order to obtain the final application.
Another primary objective of the Master’s Degree course is to provide advanced technical training based on the technologies pertaining to platforms that currently have greater professional protection. In terms of web applications, the Microsoft .NET and Java platforms are covered extensively.
This ranges from learning how to prepare the persistence layer for database managers to the preparation of the business logic layer in distributed environments for .NET and Java. It also includes the user interfaces layer for desktop environments, web environments, and mobile devices.
Furthermore, in recent years rich internet applications (RIAs) have become increasingly important, and the course teaches solutions for .NET and Java.
