Basic Information
Home
Cloud computing is currently becoming popular. This computing paradigm offers organizations a platform for publishing applications on the Internet. Thanks to its services, these applications can be more scalable, fault-tolerant and can be updated more frequently and with fewer errors. However, in order to take advantage of the new platforms, applications must be designed and implemented following a series of patterns and using certain technologies. These applications designed specifically for these new platforms are called cloud native applications, which could be translated as cloud native applications.
On this website you will find detailed information about the master: https://www.codeurjc.es/mastercloudapps/
Objectives
The objective of the master's degree is to present and apply the techniques, tools, platforms and good practices that allow the development and deployment of Internet applications that take advantage of the new trends offered by cloud computing. Unlike other master's degrees in the sector, the objective is to cover the complete life cycle of application development and maintenance: development methodologies, software quality, Internet application implementation technologies, cloud computing platforms, and control of the integration and deployment cycle. For this reason, the master's program is divided into four modules that cover all these aspects:
- Module I: Software Quality: Design, Architecture, Testing and XP
- Module II: Web services: technologies, protocols, tests and architectures
- Module III: Cloud Native Applications
- Module IV: DevOps, integration and continuous deployment

Master's Final Project
After completing all the subjects, a Master's Thesis (TFM) must be completed. In this work, the knowledge learned is applied and developed. It is not a small "toy" project, it is rather the perfect excuse to delve into a topic of interest to the student. Teachers propose a series of topics, but students can also propose projects that motivate them. For example, that technology that you never have time to study in depth, implement a specific architecture that you have in mind for something you are doing at work, compare different alternatives, etc. The Master's Thesis can be carried out individually or in groups of students, which allows them to go further in their objectives.
Recipients
This master's degree is aimed at both recent graduates and professionals in the area of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) who wish to complete their training in aspects related to the development and deployment of applications on the new platforms offered by cloud computing. .
- Recent graduates: Graduates of degrees related to computing, telecommunications and ICT in general. The training received by students in these degrees allows them to acquire a base of knowledge and skills in software development and deployment, but in most cases it is not deep enough for students to integrate into a professional environment without an important learning period. The objective of the master's degree is for these students to complement the training received in the degree studies so that they master the techniques and tools for the implementation and deployment of applications on cloud platforms.
- Industry professionals: There are many professionals in the ICT sector who carry out their work with technologies prior to the appearance of cloud computing. The speed with which new techniques and technologies appear makes it difficult for companies to keep up and stay constantly updated. The objective of the master's degree is to allow these experienced professionals to update their knowledge to apply it in their companies or to improve their professional prospects and advance in their careers.
access requirements
Have a university degree related to computer science or software development or have demonstrable professional experience in the software development sector. The direction of the master's degree will determine if the professional experience indicated by the applicant is adequate to allow access to the studies.
Master's students who do not have a university degree of any kind will not be able to obtain the Master's degree issued by the URJC. Instead, they will be issued a certificate of completion indicating all the characteristics of the studies completed (hours, program, etc.).
To take the master's degree it is necessary to have, at least, basic notions of the following subjects:
- Command line
- Java programming language
- JavaScript programming language
- git version control system
Number of places offered: 75
Number of reserved places: 3. When the number of applications that meet the access requirements exceeds the number of places available, a place is reserved for vulnerable groups (disability, victims of terrorism and gender violence, article 50 of the regulation) with the same selection criteria . In the event that said quota is not covered, it will pass to the general quota.
The start of the course is conditioned to the minimum number of students enrolled
