Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya · BarcelonaTech

Bachelor's degree in Informatics Engineering + master's degree in Informatics Engineering. Sequential academic programme (PARS): Informatics Engineer

Barcelona School of Informatics (FIB)

The bachelor’s degree in Informatics Engineering provides the knowledge needed to conceive, design, develop, maintain and manage computer systems, services, applications and architectures and to understand and apply relevant legislation. You will also become an expert in new methods and technologies in the field of ICTs. You can choose one of five majors: 

Major in Computing
You will acquire the scientific and technical fundamentals that will enable you to design efficient solutions to computing challenges, particularly in artificial intelligence, bioinformatics and virtual reality.

Major in Computer Engineering
You will be trained in the design of computers and digital devices that integrate hardware, software and communications, such as supercomputers, mobile phones, mp3 players, medical equipment, robots and image processing systems.

Major in Software Engineering
You will learn to build reliable, efficient software systems that meet user and corporate requirements and to manage the people, resources and stages in a project, from the definition of the client's needs to the construction and deployment of a system.

Major in Information Systems
You will specialise in using information technologies to improve organisational processes in ways that enable the organisation to deploy its strategies and meet its aims, making it more efficient, innovative and competitive.

Major in Information Technologies
You will be trained in the design and installation of computer networks and the applications needed to satisfy the needs of organisations in keeping with security requirements.
