Curriculum
The MSIN curriculum consists of three main components: the core courses, electives and project. The core courses establish the necessary background and a common competence level, and the elective courses build upon the core.
Students can choose from a wide variety of technical and management elective courses according to their interests and career needs. The MSIN program will be delivered using a hybrid distributed education format with four courses (at least three core) taught from Carnegie Mellon via video-conferencing technologies (VTC) and the remaining courses taught locally at the University of Aveiro by its faculty.
