Academic Structure

The Specialization in High Performance Computing and GRID Technology is a structured course.

The subjects in the curriculum are given by expert professors in the field and have a previous assessment and approval from the HCD based on the content analysis and the professor in charge. The subjects have been considered to provide credits for the Doctorate in Computer Sciences of this School.

The course includes 8 compulsory theoretical and practical subjects and an Integrative Final Work. The courses can be divided in modules by topic.

Extra activities such as elective subjects, works, tutorials, seminars, etc. can be added to the subjects in order to fulfill the students’ training and information.
