Provide a solid scientific, technological and social learning, supported by a programme and courses that includes contact with real situations and laboratories experiences. This cycle of studies is based on the development of a diverse set of skills and competencies that permits excellent career opportunities and pursue postgraduate studies.
The academic programme in Information and Communication Technologies from ESTA-IPT aims at delivering qualified staff in major computer science areas particularly in IC technologies as a support to other economic activities.
The course curriculum was designed with basis on intensive reflection by the academic staff on the field and educational supply in IC technologies offered within IPT's region of influence and the general objectives of the polytechnic sub-system.
The programme was designed so as to produce qualified staff with sound theoretical and practical foundations and know-how enabling varied experiences in professional, on-the-job environments as much as possible.
