This Master’s degree allows access to the PhD Program in Telecommunication of the Communications Department.
The MUTSRC Master’s degree provides a solid foundation for research in the field of telecommunications. The teaching staff of the degree is made up of researchers of high international relevance. Consequently, students can participate in research work, collaborating with various technological institutes and spin-offs in the sector, during the completion of the master’s thesis.
Academic exchange / agreements with other universities
The Master offers various opportunities for academic exchange and agreements with other universities, mainly European. There is also the possibility of obtaining a double master’s degree both internationally and with other UPV degrees in the ICT field.
- Academic exchange with European universities.
- International double master’s degree.
- Double master’s degree with UPV degrees in the ICT field.
Facilities and laboratories
The MUTSRC is taught entirely at the School of Telecommunications (ETSIT) of the UPV. The ETSIT has two buildings for teaching, the 4D and 4P buildings, which house 26 classrooms, 8 computer rooms and 21 teaching laboratories. It can be consulted in the space locator on the ETSIT website..
Master’s Thesis
The MUTSRC Master’s TFM comprises 24 ECTS and allows students to apply the knowledge acquired during the master’s degree in a practical and research project. Although it can be developed during the entire academic year, it is suggested to complete it during the second semester once the course credits have been passed.
Students can carry out the TFM in high-tech facilities of the UPV or in collaboration with technology companies, allowing them to gain practical experience and apply their knowledge in a professional environment.
The public defense of the TFM is done before a tribunal and can be in Spanish, Valencian or English. Students must submit a written report and a presentation of the work.
The TFM is an excellent opportunity for students to demonstrate their skills and knowledge, and to prepare for their future career in the telecommunications field.
