Description

The Master's Degree in ICT Security, studied at the Faculty of Computer Science, Multimedia and Telecommunications of the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya, gave me advanced knowledge in protecting systems, networks and data in digital environments. During the master's degree I learned to identify vulnerabilities, analyse risks and design efficient security strategies, as well as to apply standards, protocols and best practices to guarantee the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information.

I developed skills in network security, cryptography, incident management and response to cyberthreats, as well as in the use of tools and methodologies for detecting and mitigating attacks. I also gained expertise in auditing and regulatory compliance, learning regulations such as the GDPR and ISO/IEC 27001, and applying them to real professional environments.

In addition, the master's degree strengthened my analytical thinking, complex problem-solving and teamwork skills in multidisciplinary teams, preparing me to tackle security projects in organisations from different sectors. I have acquired practical and theoretical knowledge that allows me to design, implement and manage advanced cybersecurity solutions, contributing to the protection and reliability of ICT systems.

Description

The degree in Telematics Engineering at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra gave me a solid foundation in the principles of telecommunications, networks and computing applied to data transmission and management. I learned to understand and work with different types of networks, communication protocols and transmission systems, as well as with the devices and platforms that enable the connection, transport and security of information in both local and distributed environments. I also gained knowledge of network and telecommunications service configuration, monitoring and optimisation.

During my studies, I developed practical skills in configuring and maintaining network equipment, managing data flows, and using software and tools for network analysis and simulation. I also learned to apply security and quality standards and best practices in network management, as well as to plan and solve complex technical problems that can arise in telecommunications environments.

In addition, the degree helped me develop analytical and teamwork skills, essential for tackling multidisciplinary projects. I can now understand how the different components of a network connect and interact, diagnose incidents, optimise resources and implement technical solutions that integrate hardware, software and communication protocol aspects. This technical and practical knowledge is what I consolidated thanks to the degree.

Description

The degree in Audiovisual Systems Engineering at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra gave me a solid foundation in the principles of electronics, telecommunications and computing applied to the audiovisual sector. I learned to understand and work with image and sound signal acquisition, processing and distribution systems, as well as to operate the devices and platforms that enable reliable and efficient transmission of multimedia content. I also gained knowledge of the networks and communication protocols needed to integrate digital audiovisual systems.

During my studies, I developed practical skills in configuring and maintaining video and audio equipment, managing multimedia data flows, and using software for editing, encoding and distributing content. I also learned to apply quality and security standards and best practices in these systems, as well as to plan and solve complex technical problems that can arise in audiovisual projects.

In addition, the degree helped me develop analytical and teamwork skills, essential for tackling multidisciplinary projects. I can now understand how the different components of an audiovisual system connect, diagnose incidents, optimise processes and implement technical solutions that integrate both hardware and software aspects. This technical and practical knowledge is what I consolidated thanks to the degree.
