Curriculum
The MSIT-IS 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. The MSIT-IS program will be delivered using a hybrid distributed education format with four courses (at least three core) taught from Carnegie Mellon via videoteleconferencing technologies (VTC) and the remaining courses taught locally at the University of Lisbon by its faculty.
