Learning facilities
|
The support structures to the Doctorate in Computer Science Engineering are several. Besides the infrastructures to support lessons during the first doctorate year (classrooms, teaching laboratories, secretariat, library, etc.), students count on several laboratories where they will develop research assignments that conduct to the writing of the dissertation. When choosing the theme of the dissertation, the student will be guided to one of the following laboratories:
-HULTIG Lab (Centre for Human Language Technology and Bioinformatics)
-IT (Telecommunications Institute)
-LISTI Lab (Information Systems and Technologies)
-Media Lab (Graphic and Multimedia Computing)
-NetGNA Lab (Next Generation Networks and Applications)
-NMCG Lab (Network and Multimedia Computing)
-RELEASE Lab (Reliable and Secure Computation)
-SOCIA Lab (Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis)
-We-MOVE Lab (Technologies and Telecommunications) |
