The Master's degree in the Internet of Things offers a comprehensive view of the IoT field and a specialization that is currently not available within the Galician university system (SUG). For example, the Degree in Telecommunications Engineering at the University of Vigo (UVigo) and the Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Computer Engineering offered by the University of A Coruña (UDC) and the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC) include basic concepts that an expert in IoT requires, but do not delve into them. Similarly, other existing master's degrees within the SUG, such as those in Telecommunications Engineering, Cybersecurity and Industrial Computing, and Robotics, also lack specialized training.

This degree provides students with the knowledge necessary to design, configure, integrate and maintain digital interconnection systems for objects and people that operate autonomously and intelligently, generating useful information for decision-making. The program delves into areas such as embedded systems and IoT devices, IoT architectures, telecommunications, programming and data processing and analysis.

Admission Requirements

In the case of students who apply for admission and hold a different degree, their admission will be assessed based on whether they can justify that their previous studies led to the acquisition of knowledge corresponding to the generic profile of a graduate in a degree related to the field of ICT, which is expected to have knowledge of programming, algorithm design, computer networks, basic communication protocols between devices, electronic circuits, as well as knowledge of statistics. To do this, students must provide in their application, in addition to their curriculum vitae, the degree they hold, as well as the details of the study plan taken in which the teaching load of each of the subjects appears and the descriptive sheet of those that were relevant to the justification of acquiring knowledge corresponding to the generic profile described in the previous paragraph. They will also provide their work experience related to the IoT, if applicable.

The scale with which admission applications will be evaluated will be based on the following aspects:

  • Academic record: up to 70% of the grade. For students coming from degrees other than the preferred ones, their academic record will be divided by 2.
  • Research experience: up to 30% of the grade.
  • Work experience: up to 30% of the grade.
  • Other merits: related to the field of IoT: up to 10% of the mark.


The specific percentages associated with the scale for each academic year will be established and published prior to the beginning of the pre-registration and enrollment periods.
