The z System platform is famous for offering the maximum possible protection on the market. In addition, new versions and architectures allow to apply the most novel techniques and approaches of DevOps, advanced analytics (e.g. Machine Learning), Cloud Computing, the use of Linux as an operative system, the application of standards and open code applications that meet standard requirements and not functionalities (e.g. availability, security and scalability, etc.)
This master's degree is designed as a complementary specialization for those with Degrees in Computer Engineering, Telecommunications, Industrial, Electricity, Electronics and Architecture, as well as graduates in technical-scientific subjects, or other graduates who have professional experience in the field of mobile computing, home automation and automation, or in ICT (Information and Communication Technology).
The students will achieve a professional profile that is highly demanded at the present, as a result of the popularity of the Blockchain concept and all the associated technological paradigms, knowing the technologies and computational models that are currently used in the framework of Smart contracts, cryptocurrency, block chains, etc.
In short, the student will be able to continue to expand on their technical and professional skills, increasing their employment possibilities.
