Computer Science Faculty, University of Murcia (FIUM) Information

The University of Murcia started to teach a 3-years Computer Science degree in 1983-84 in the School of Computer Science. Since most of the students use to continue their studies in a different university to get a 5-years degree, the University of Murcia created the Faculty of Computer Science in 1990 and the 5-years degree was taught for the first time in 1991-92. In 1993, both the School and the Faculty were merged, so the Faculty of Computer Sciences was in charge of teaching both degrees. Both were undergraduate programmes, although the 3-years degree might be considered equivalent to a BSc and the 5-years one to a MSc. In 2009-10, the study programmes were adapted to the European Space for Higher Education, and currently the Faculty of Computer Science at the University of Murcia offers its students two undergraduate studies, BSc on Computer Engineering (4 years) and Combined BSc on Mathematics and Computer Science (5 years), and also the following postgraduate studies: MS con New Tecnologies in Computer Science (1 year) and PhD programme.
