| Description | New technologies in computer science now demand a deeper understanding of their mathematical bases, as the mathematics used in these technologies becomes more complex every day. In an effort to overcome this challenge, the University of Granada has created a Double Degree in Computer Engineering and Mathematics. As a student on our degree, you will have the opportunity to acquire all the skills required to become a highly trained computer engineer whilst, at the same time, acquiring a deeper knowledge of mathematics, a necessity for the current job market. All the mathematical principles used in current software will be explained in depth and you will be more than ready for the challenges of being a computer engineer. Both the mathematics and the computer engineering teaching staff at the University of Granada are highly experienced and internationally renowned, both for their teaching and innovative research. In the broad subject field of computer science, the UGR is currently ranked 43rd in the world. Meanwhile, in the subject field of Mathematics, the UGR is currently ranked among the top 76-100 (Shanghai Academic Ranking of World Universities, ARWU 2013) Students in this degree will have a wealth of resources at the Computer Science and Mathematics Faculty at their disposal. This five-year degree (369 ECTS credits) combines subjects from computer engineering and mathematics. These subjects are distributed in three learning stages: basic, core and elective subjects, including contents in areas such as software, programming, mathematical analysis, geometry, algorithms, calculus, databases and robotics. Through this Double Degree, our graduates are not only able to start working immediately as professionals in the computer engineering market, but can also specialise in whichever field they like most, be it computer engineering or mathematics. They have a deeper understanding of mathematics than other computer experts, which allows them to work in more areas: research centres, statistics companies, finance analysis companies, private software companies, search engines, and teaching, to mention but a few. The possibilities are endless. Computer engineering has always had a strong mathematical basis. In this degree, mathematics has a leading role next to computer science, making our graduates more competent in understanding, designing and improving computer systems in a wide range of areas. |
