This course is offered jointly with the University of Trento (Italy) and RWTH Aachen (Germany) within the framework of the Erasmus Mundus programme. It is designed to encourage and provide support for students from outside the European Union to study in European universities.
The objective of the Masters programme is to educate professionals who will understand advanced techniques, tools, and methodologies in the field of informatics, and who will be able to put this knowledge into practice in the key application domains of Net-Centric Informatics, Life Science Informatics, and Embedded Systems Informatics.
The Masters Course lasts two years and carries 120 points in the European credit transfer system. The course is taught in English and covers domains that, being emergent, rapidly evolving, and of growing impact on society, require specialised competencies not covered by more traditional degree programs.
Course content is grouped into the specialist areas. Each specialist area is taught jointly by two of the partner Universities and, as a student, you will spend a year at each university. One university will act as your main university where you will spend the initial part of thir studies and where you will be based while writing your thesis.

The areas of specialisation
Net-Centric InformaticsThis specialization covers all those aspects of informatics related to the design, implementation and analysis of distributed, ubiquitous information and computing systems. This area covers a wide range of topics, ranging from network architectures and communication infrastructures to techniques for the design and analysis of distributed knowledge, media applications and large-scale information systems, to the design and implementation of distributed web-service applications. Life-Science InformaticsThis area of specialization will prepare professionals at the intersection of the study of Life-Science (biology, neuroscience, cognitive sciences) and the study of computation and engineering. Students will take basic courses on the fundamentals of biology and/or cognitive science and advanced courses studying the application of computer science techniques to the analysis of structural and behavioral aspects of biological and cognitive systems. Embedded Systems InformaticsThis specialization introduces the fundamental principles underlying the theory and the practical design and implementation of embedded systems. Moreover, it allows students to put these principles into practice in applications in the area of control systems (e.g., controllers for automotive systems or industrial plants) and to ambient intelligence applications (e.g., domotics or sensors networks).
Upon the successful completion of the course you will be awarded a double degree, consisting of a degree from each of the two visited universities. The awarded degrees correspond to:
* a Master of Science in Informatics from us
* a Master of Science in Computer Science or Media Informatics from the RWTH Aachen University
* a Master of Science in Informatics from the University of Trento.
