Brief description and learning objectives:

The scientific field of this specialization covers a wide range of innovative approaches and technologies that respond to the modern challenges and needs of all individual sectors of the socio-economic ecosystem. Considering that every sector (such as transport, health, logistics, smart cities and retail) integrates and uses as a key “tool” one or more information systems, the aim of this specialization is to offer all the necessary knowledge and skills so that graduates can analyze, design, implement and manage information systems.

The ever-enriching digital ecosystem is geared toward the development of modern mobile applications, cloud computing infrastructures, and ever more devices/sensors that enable the delivery of innovative products and applications. Thus, this specialization covers all phases of the development process of advanced information systems, offering holistic knowledge from analysis and design to implementation and governance.

The purpose of the specialization is the promotion of scientific knowledge and research that will make the graduates capable of directly staffing agencies that either use, or dispose of to third parties, or build information systems.
