Objectives

The general objective of the Master’s Degree in Digital Information Systems is to train professionals capable of selecting, managing, organizing, and preserving digital documentation and information so that it can be used by third parties.
The graduate must be able to carry out their work in all types of information units and institutions that work with information or digital documentation and orient it according to the community of users to which the service is provided. The framework defined by this general objective allows us to establish the following training objectives that govern the preparation of the master’s degree curriculum:
