    The Master in Machine Learning for Health (formerly Master in Information Health Engineering) emerges as an answer to the increasing demand of researchers with an interdisciplinary background in the fields of machine learning and bioengineering. Nowadays, the intersection of these two areas stands out for its enormous potential in both research and application: the role of machine learning, signal processing, data science, and artificial intelligence is becoming crucial in almost any field and particularly in health applications. Significantly, both public and private investing in research related to these areas has an enormous social and economic impact. In fact, companies such as Philips, Siemens, Microsoft, IBM, Amazon, Google or Apple, to name just a few, are demanding this research profile.

    This Master combines the disciplines of machine learning and health with the goal of training researchers to become experts in signal and data analysis tools, with special emphasis on their use on medical signals and images. The training provided by the master's degree will have a strong theoretical foundation, which will provide future graduates with the necessary knowledge to start their subsequent doctoral studies and/or develop R&D activities in industry.

      DOUBLE MASTER DEGREE IN TELECOMMUNICATIONS ENGINEERING AND MACHINE LEARNING FOR HEALTH

      STRUCTURE

      The Double Master's Degree Curriculum is structured around two academic years in which you will take 72 ECTS from the Master's Degree in Telecommunications Engineering and 48 ECTS from the Master's Degree in Machine Learning for Health.

      The 120 total credits from the dual curriculum is broken down as follows:

      • In the first year, students take subjects for the Master's Degree in Telecommunications Engineering (30 ECTS in each semester). Each semester you will take five core subjects of 6 ECTS each.
      • During the second year of teaching, you will take specialty subjects in Machine Learning for Health (9 compulsory ECTS and 30 elective ECTS), and the 2 Master's Thesis corresponding to each master's degree.

      You will have 30 validated ECTS credits, and on completion you receive two Official Master's Degree qualifications.
