Degree in Informatics Engineering - Barcelona School of Informatics - FIB - UPC

Objectives

The aim of the Degree in Informatics Engineering is to give students a general grounding in informatics, examine all or most subjects inherent to the field in depth and train them to attain pass one of the areas of specialisation offered by the School.

The FIB currently offers the following areas of specialisation:

High-performance architectures and computing
Software engineering and information systems
Fundamentals of computing
Data management and operations
System interfaces and integration
Advanced programming techniques
Telematic networks and operating systems

Some of the optional subject requirements on the new curriculum are the same as those for the 1991 curriculum with regard to passing areas of specialisation.

Study load

The Degree in Informatics Engineering has a total of 375 credits, which are divided up as follows:

First cycle

148.5 credits for first cycle compulsory subjects
52.5 credits for optional subjects
19.5 credits for free-elective subjects

Second cycle

87 credits for second cycle compulsory subjects
12 credits for optional subjects
18 credits for free-elective subjects
37.5 credits for the final project
