A graduate specialist in Information Technology (IT) will know the necessary technologies, both hardware and software, to store, retrieve, transmit and manipulate data. This means that an IT specialist has a good technical and practical knowledge in managing the technological infrastructure which treats the information and the development of systems. An engineer of IT specializes in integrating information technologies rather than the information itself and has knowledge of hardware, operating systems, programming languages, communication protocols, distributed systems and architectures of systems.

Examples of these concepts include aspects as diverse as can be the design of Internet Service Providers (ISP) and/or IT departments, design of Data Processing Centres (CPD), Big Data infrastructures, administration and design of operating systems, computer security applied to Internet infrastructures and to applications, design of distributed systems and distributed applications, Peer-to-Peer (P2P), Cloud Computing, Grid Computing and Mobile Computing, Web Services, exchange of multimedia content (audio, video), social networks, mobile applications, Internet of things.

Requisites between subjects

Prerequisite

If a subject A is prerequisite of another subject B, it means that to be able to register B is necessary to have passed the subject A.

If a subject A is corequisite of another subject B, it means that to be able to register B is necessary to have passed or to be register in the subject A.

If a subject A is precorequisite of another subject B, it means that to be able to register B it is necessary to be registered (a quadrimester before at least) subject A. But, in case of havig a list of precorequits (A precorequsite of B, and B precorequisite of C), it won't be posible to register subject C until subject A has not been passed.

If two subjects A and B are orequisite of subject C, it means that to register subject C it is necessary to have passed either subject A or subject B.

If a subject A is incompatible with another subject B, it means that you are not able to register A if you have passed the subject B.
