Title description

The Master's Degree in Computational Engineering & Industrial Mathematics is an online, English-language master's degree designed to prepare students to use advanced computational engineering and mathematics tools applied to industry. This master's degree provides a solid foundation in complex systems modeling, algorithm development, data analysis, statistics, optimization, simulation, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. Through an applied perspective, students acquire the skills necessary to solve real-world problems in sectors such as logistics, transportation, production, finance, and smart cities, among others. Although the program is online, the final exams are held in person at the UPV's Alcoy Campus.

Objectives of the title

• Develop skills in mathematical modeling and simulation of complex systems.
• To train in the design and optimization of algorithms applied to engineering and industry.
• Provide training in advanced data analysis, statistics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence techniques.
• Apply computational tools to solve real-world problems in sectors such as logistics, transportation, production, finance, and smart cities.
• Promote skills for data-driven decision-making and the implementation of innovative solutions in industrial environments.
