What can the Master’s degree offer you?

This programme offers the opportunity to immerse yourself in two of the most dynamic and constantly evolving sectors: Telecommunications Engineering, which provides advanced knowledge of communication systems, networks and digital technology, and the Fintech sector, which immerses you in the emerging world of digital payments and online banking.

You will develop the skills to implement telecommunications solutions within the FinTech sector, tackling challenges such as cyber security, data management and the integration of new payment systems, thereby becoming an agent of change in an increasingly digitalised world.

The dual Master’s degree programme in Telecommunications Engineering (MIT) and Financial Technologies: Payments and Digital Banking (MTF) is designed to enable students to develop the skills and competencies of both master’s programmes over two years. The effort required for a dual degree is continuously guided and supported.

Students who complete the programme will be eligible to join the Official Association of Telecommunications Engineers of Spain and practise the legally regulated profession of Telecommunications Engineer.
