In addtion to the regular courses that will be offered, there is also a set of research topics available for the students undertaking their Master Thesis. These topics allow for both fundamental and applied research, as well as technology transfer, depending on the case. These research directions will be availabe for two purposes:
a) research work to be done during the Master Thesis.
b) for those students deciding later to pursue a PhD. within the Doctoral Program "Information Technologies, Communications and Computational Mathematics" of Universitat de València or the Doctoral Program "Information, Communication and Audiovisual Technologies" at Universitat Pompeu Fabra, in which case the Master Thesis will be ideally a preliminary work for the subsequent PhD. research.
This is a preliminary list of updated generic research topics that are available for the students:
