Curriculum Details

The curriculum of the Bachelor Degree in Informatics Engineering was approved by the School Board on 21 October 2009. It is compliant with the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) and its academic load is 240 ECTS:

• 132 compulsory credits
• 48 specialization credits, one subject to be chosen out of the five on offer
• 42 optional credits
• 18 credits for the final project, which should be associated with the chosen area of specialization

Study Plan Structure

Subjects are divided into semesters. There are two semesters in each academic year. There are eight subjects in the first year worth 7.5 ECTS credits each. All other subjects on the Bachelor Degree in Computing Engineering are worth 6 ECTS credits. Twelve credits are awarded in the eighth semester for subjects or seminars and the final project.

Compulsory Subjects Requisites

In order to be able to register in a subject, it is necessary to have carried out some necessary requisites. There are four types of requisites: Prerequisite, Corequisite, Precorequisite, Orequisite.

• Prerequisite: If a subject A is prerequisite of another subject B, it means that to be able to register B, it is necessary to have passed the subject A.
• Corequisite: If a subject A is corequisite of another subject B, it means that to be able to register B, it is necessary to have passed or to be registered in the subject A.
• Precorequisite: 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 having a list of precorequits (A precorequisite of B, and B precorequisite of C), it won't be possible to register subject C until subject A has not been passed.
• Orequisit: 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.

Optional Subjects

Optional subjects are taken in the 7th and 8th semesters. A total amount of 42 ECTS credits must be obtained from a combination of any of the following activities:

• Taking optional subjects worth 6 ECTS credits each.
• Attending seminars on relevant topics (from 1 to 3 ECTS credits each).
• Going to a university abroad on a mobility programme.
• Taking a double degree at a prestigious university.
• Going on a work placement.
• Taking complementary specialisation subjects (not taken to date) or subjects from another specialisation area.
