In the study Galicia 2030: Future Professional Profiles and New University Degrees and Specializations, conducted by the Consellería de Educación, Universidade e Formación Profesional from Xunta de Galicia in collaboration with FEUGA, it is highlighted that all consulted sectors, including strategic sectors of Galicia such as automotive, energy, shipbuilding, healthcare, and the textile sector, consider IoT a priority and foresee an increase in the demand for professionals with expertise in IoT.
The Master’s Degree in Internet of Things, jointly proposed by the 3 public universities in Galicia and considered strategic by the Xunta de Galicia, offers a level of specialization in the IoT field that currently does not exist in the University System of Galicia (SUG).
The master’s program consists of 60 ECTS, divided modularly into four bimester periods, with three specializations (IIoT, Society 5.0, and Connected Vehicle).
