In the past decade, the developments experienced by the advancements of the Internet and the World Wide Web have been monumental for the Information Technology domain, as well as the society in general.

Additionally, in recent years we have experienced an explosion of computational capabilities, not only from traditional computing machines (i.e. computers) but also from a wide variety of other devices such as mobile smart phones, tablets and several other autonomous smart devices. Furthermore, the developments in cloud computing and the integration of the whole spectrum of smart devices with the internet (Internet of Things) leads to the enchantment of existing information technology applications and to the creation of new areas of applications.

The aim of the proposed program is to develop graduates that exhibit in-depth knowledge and advanced skills of the technologies relevant to web applications and smart systems. By the end of this program, graduates will master the knowledge required to design and implement efficient and effective solutions utilizing existing and emerging web and/or smart systems.

An equally important aim is that, through the program, the University will be able to strengthen its research activity in this fast evolving field and become a leading research institution in the area.

Careers

A large percentage of graduates of the MSc in Mobile and Web Systems program are expected to pursue careers in web application development and integration of applications with mobile devices, which is a rapidly growing section in organizations involved with software development. They are also likely to be employed in telecommunications companies, where a shift into the support of application-level services is present (see for example the establishment of CYTACOM by CYTA).

Graduates can also be employed in computer network related jobs and are also capable of obtaining employment in ICT departments of medium and large organizations and software houses.
