The volume of data that surfs the web internationally every day is incalculable. Thanks to the development of big data, nowadays millions of companies around the world have the possibility of gathering invaluable information that, with its analysis, allows them to obtain specific conclusions about their business model, as well as to make strategic decisions in the market. However, until a few years ago, the intervention of third parties in this management could mean a violation of the entity's vulnerability, putting its integrity at risk and allowing access to hackers. Everything changed with the emergence of Blockchain.

Thanks to the evolution of this technology, which encrypts transaction information and enables its transfer from one side to the other in a fairly secure manner, cryptocurrencies, NFT technology or numerous digital assets in science, politics and administration, for example, have been developed. The rapid growth and multiple applications of this technology, as well as the benefits that can arise from the combination with big data, has led thousands of companies around the world to increasingly demand the presence in their workforces of computer scientists specialized in both fields.

For that reason, TECH and its team of experts has decided to design this advanced master’s degree in Big Data and Blockchain, an intensive and comprehensive program, developed over 24 months and with which the graduates will be able to acquire a broad, updated and specialized knowledge about these two fields, allowing them to implement to their profile the skills of a highly qualified professional in the management of these technologies. The program delves into the characterization of data analysis, interpretation and management, as well as its techniques and tools. It also offers a broad vision of security in cyberspace and the development of public and private blockchains, so that the graduate can delve into each of its aspects.
