MInors in which you can specialize

Minor in Data Engineering

Data Engineering 

If you opt for the Minor in Data Engineering, you will professionally train in one of the highest demanded sectors in business, as data are the key to business decision making, innovation, and economic development.  

 

Data Engineering is a discipline that opens the door to very interesting job profiles: Data Scientist or Artificial Intelligence Expert, Manager of predictive models development based on Machine Learning techniques, or a Big Data Architect, whose job is to develop the necessary infrastructure to collect data that will later be subject to analysis.   

 

Train in a profession with 100% employability, and with a great professional trajectory. 

Minor in Cybersecurity

If you opt for the Minor in Cybersecurity, you will be prepared to work as a security analyst, security architect, ethical hacker, CISO, CSO, or specialist in digital investigation and forensic analysis, in the most demanding business environments.  

 

You will acquire a solid foundation that will allow you to ensure the security of corporate IT infrastructures, communications and prevent cyber-attacks.   

 

You will be able to work in large technology companies, banks, and various sectors such as construction, communications, transport, energy, health and more. You will be developing new tools, analyzing new Trojans or discovering and reporting new vulnerabilities that continually appear in the systems.   

 

Train in a profession with 100% employability, and with a great professional trajectory.   

Minor in Computer Graphics Programming, Immersive Systems and Simulation

If you opt for the Minor in Computer Graphics Programming, Immersive Systems and Simulation you will learn to develop real-time optimized interactive products, design Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) applications, program visual effects for cinema and engineering, video games/serious games development and working in a deep-level with the most powerful graphics engines.

After graduation, you will be able to pursue a wide range of specialized positions in the IT, health, civil engineering, architecture, education, psychology, entertainment, film or accessibility industries. Your studies will come at a time when there is a shortage of highly specialized professionals in immersive systems, during which companies are looking for experts to develop their new business ventures.
