This course is approved by The National Agency for Quality Assessment and Accreditation of Spain (ANECA).

Num. of places: 30

Student profile

This special course was specifically designed for graduates from the 3-year business information technology engineering degree programme and the 3-year computer systems engineering degree offered by the University of the Balearic Islands via the study plans defined by Official State Gazette (B.O.E.) numbers 27139 of 17 December 1997, and 26915 of 15 December 1997, respectively.

Students who have not completed either of these programmes can access this special course based on the requirements considered necessary by the Credit Recognition and Transfer Commission as well as the subjects that each student has taken.

If there the number of registered students exceeds the number of places available, enrolment requests will be ranked based on previous studies and entrance requirements.
