Have you considered pursuing a postgraduate degree in a technology field?

The rapid evolution of technology is constantly reflected in the labor market, which makes companies have to look for professionals with technological skills to fill demanding and specialized positions. In collaboration with ISEC Lisbon - Higher Institute of Education and Sciences, and Atlântica - Higher Institute of Management Science, Health, Technology, and Engineering, Rumos now offers study programs aimed at professionals or future professionals who wish to acquire or deepen their knowledge in specific technology fields.

It is in this context that the Data Science postgraduate degree program was created. The amount of data generated by organizations is growing exponentially, creating a need for specialized professionals who can harness the value of data. When properly explored, data leads to strategic business decisions, the creation of new products, the offer of personalized services, and much more. This field is present across all organizations and activity sectors, and it is recognized for all the benefits it promotes.

This postgraduate degree program is divided into two cycles: Data Science Fundamentals Specialization and Applied Data Science Specialization, which provide students with a broader and more detailed vision of concepts and methodologies belonging to the field of Data Science. The first cycle provides the key concepts and fundamental tools used by Data Scientists, whereas the second one provides a solid foundation of the principles needed to develop a Data Science project, as well as practical examples to apply to real-world projects.  

The increasing interest of organizations in digital transformation has created a demand for skilled professionals capable of driving this transformation with a focus on enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of their processes. Process automation can play a very important role in the transformation of the business itself, helping to increase productivity, reduce and optimize costs, and improve the quality of services provided.

For that reason, Rumos created the Robotic Process Automation (RPA) postgraduate degree aimed at anyone who wishes to take advantage of this new strategic capability of process optimization, providing them with the knowledge and tools to manage automation teams and projects in their various phases: preparation, implementation, exploration, programming, configuration, deployment, and monitoring of automation robots. This postgraduate program also consists of two cycles: RPA Management Specialization and RPA Implementation Specialization. 

The Cyber Security & Data Protection (PGCS&DP) postgraduate degree is another of the courses offered, as a result of the growing concern of companies about Information Security. Business competitiveness relies on accessing and generating more and better information, and business processes are performed within an environment of constant information exchange with external entities, such as customers and suppliers. Therefore, cyber security and compliance must be continuously assessed, implemented, and maintained. Organizations that neglect to implement essential security practices weaken their defenses significantly.

Taking into account the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the rules it establishes regarding citizens’ privacy rights, this postgraduate degree program delves into current and relevant topics such as Management and Governance of Information Systems, Data Protection and Privacy, Cyber Security and Cyber Resilience. Similar to the other two postgraduate degree programs, this one also consists of two cycles: Information Security Governance and Management Specialization and Information Security Operation and Support Specialization.

If you aspire to a career in any of these three technology fields, you must invest in yourself and in your education to improve your know-how and be able to respond to the current needs of many companies. After all, new opportunities and success always go hand in hand with the most competent professionals.
