MASTERS

Objective:
The master's degree in Science and Engineering (of Computing) should be considered as
a professional and terminal training cycle aimed at improving the practice of these
disciplines in the productive field and train teachers of this discipline at the level
technician, bachelor's degree, and master's degree. However, a student or graduate of a master's degree
you can enroll in the doctoral program, meeting the requirements set forth in the
point 3.6.

Admission requirements:
I have covered all the credits of a bachelor's degree in science or engineering (of the
computing) or a related field, with a minimum overall average of 8.0 or equivalent. The
exception cases will be resolved, with full justification, by the academic committee.
Take the diagnostic exam.
Know how to program in some high-level programming language.
Establish the commitment to dedicate full-time (40 hours a week) to the
academic activities that take place each semester.
Pass a comprehension exam of technical texts in a language different from
Spanish, to be chosen from those indicated by the academic committee. The exam will focus on

Bachelor's level computing. This exam will be designed and organized by a
admission committee appointed by the academic committee, in accordance with what is stated
in the operational standards. The approving report of academic sufficiency will depend on
from the result of this exam as well as the additional information that the committee itself
of admission requires.
In order to guide students in taking this exam, they will be able to
impart courses that will not have curricular value. The student who requests it
will be accepted on a single occasion to the preparatory courses, with a maximum count
of two opportunities to take the diagnostic exam. The admissions committee
will have the authority to indicate to the student who has been admitted if they need to cover some
courses outside the program, without curricular value.
For foreign applicants, the academic committee may establish a
equivalence to the diagnostic exam through graded exams that can be
presented in their country of origin.

Requirements for permanence:

Dedicate full time to studies. The academic committee of the program may
to agree on exceptions, particularly in the case that the student teaches courses
university students, with a maximum of five hours a week.
Present a report of activities endorsed by the tutor at the end of each semester, in
the satisfactory completion of the assigned academic activities shall be recorded and
approved by the program's academic committee.
Present a program of activities to be developed during the semester to which

Approve all subjects of your study plan with a minimum overall average.
of 8.0. Otherwise, the student will require express authorization from
academic committee for your re-enrollment. In case you did not obtain a grade
passing in any of the subjects, the student may retake it for
one single time.

Requirements to obtain the degree:

In accordance with Article 18 of the RGEP and with the guidelines stipulated in the
operating standards of this program, once the total credits are covered
establishes the curriculum, with an overall average of greater than or equal to 8, or
equivalent, to obtain the Master’s degree, it will be necessary for the student
present a thesis and pass the degree exam, which will consist of the oral defense of
the thesis. In exceptional cases, the degree exam with thesis defense may be
replaced, in the judgment of the academic committee, by the general knowledge exam and
the defense of a research proposal, analogous to the defense of a thesis topic
of the doctorate, in accordance with the stipulated operational regulations.
Those students who, having completed 100% of the master's credits, have
opted for their enrollment in the doctorate, pass the general knowledge exam
as a requirement for the doctorate application and to defend the thesis topic of
doctorate, they will obtain the degree of Master in Science or Engineering through this means
(of Computing).
According to article 27 of the RGEP, the tutor will be responsible for proposing to

According to article 19 of the RGEP, the jurors of the master's exams
They will be appointed by the academic committee and will be made up of three members.
