Key Summary
About: The Official University Master's degree in Machine Learning (ML), artificial intelligence (AI) and cybersecurity for internet-connected systems at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) trains students to design secure Internet of Things (IoT) and embedded systems. The programme runs in the European MERIT project, funded by the Digital Europe programme, offering student grants.
Career Outcomes: Graduates can work as intelligent software developers, AI specialists, cybersecurity consultants and analysts, security managers, data scientists and engineers, IoT engineers, researchers and teaching / research staff in tech companies, ICT departments, startups, digital innovation hubs and research centres, consultancy firms and public organisations worldwide.
The Master’s degree in Machine Learning and Cybersecurity for Internet-Connected Systems aims to provide advanced and specialised scientific and technological training in artificial intelligence and cybersecurity, with an emphasis on their application in internet-connected systems, including computer systems of differing degrees of complexity in general and Internet of Things systems in particular. The aim is thus to cover the current shortage of professionals who have this kind of training, which is highly valued in industry and in research in ICT.
This master's degree is organised within the framework of the European MERIT project, through the funding of the Digital Europe program, in collaboration with three European universities, SMEs, digital innovation hubs and research centres. The European project provides funding, such as student grants.
