When it evolves through natural selection, nature computes.
When they set their prices through the laws of supply and demand, markets compute.
When it recognizes faces and patterns, the brain computes.
When they solve huge systems of equations that model the weather, computers compute.
In contemporary science, algorithms and computing offer both a powerful explanatory model of many aspects of the world and a way of making humanity use its resources more efficiently.
Advanced Computing is the specialization that studies the foundations of computing as a discipline that explains the world from a computational viewpoint. It continues to inspire the most influential human creations of our times, such as the algorithms that underlie the internet and social networks, the design of self-governing mechanisms in economic game theory, and methods for exploitation of massive amounts of data in knowledge discovery.

The activities to obtain the SIRI credits can be done in any semester of the master's degree. Consult the detail of the seminars.
Advanced Computing reinforces eligibility for jobs that require strong skills for facing challenging computational problems. Students will become proficient in modeling and solving problems in areas in which multidisciplinarity is highly valued and computing is essential for improving competitiveness.
The intended destinations for professionals in Advanced Computing are cutting-edge international IT companies, start-ups with innovative solutions in strategic sectors, and graduate research programs in which the student works towards a PhD.
The admission period to start the Master programme in February 2025, is open from 28 October to 11 December 2024.
The decision may be that the candidate has been admitted, or that the candidate has been rejected.
On 20 December the notification will include a waiting list with all the candidates whose position in the candidates list, ordered by their access mark, is higher than the number of places offered in the Master. The candidates in that list can become admitted if some of the candidates firstly admitted decide to give up their seats.
Admitted candidates must accept their admission and confirm it with the payment of the allocation fee before 9 January 2025. After that day, we will understand that they give up their seat, so their admission will be revoked and the place assigned to the following candidate in the waiting list.

You may graduate from this master’s degree with a double diploma degree from the UPC and any of the following universities. This will involve starting your master’s degree at the UPC and completing it at the other university.
MIRI stands for Master in Innovation and Research in Informatics. This label identifies those programmes with a special focus on research and innovation. Graduates become the most knowledgeable and skilled professionals in their respective area. These programmes are highly specialized and they provide a two year immersion in the corresponding field.
The four MIRI programmes are:
