Presentation

The economic and social development associated with the fast digitization of the economy has projected activities related to technologies and web systems, which have been assuming increasingly complex and demanding intervention dimensions, with their own specificities and technical scope. The sophistication of processes and methods implies an ever increasing level of competence. Generalist skills are no longer sufficient, it is essential to master specific technical, scientific and behavioral skills.

The main objective of the Master Degree in Web Technologies and Systems Engineering is to provide students with a professional specialization through up-to-date and advanced training in technical and scientific fields related to computer sciences, further enabling them with skills allow the development of applied research.
