Programa de Pós-Graduação em Computação Aplicada

Welcome to the PPGCAP page

This site was structured thinking to present all the information relevant to the Academic Master's Degree in Applied Computing from the DCC (Department of Computer Science) at UDESC-Joinville, both for those who want to enter the course and for those who have already been selected.

Goals

The Stricto Sensu Postgraduate Course at Masters Level in Applied Computing at the Center for Technological Sciences at UDESC is offered gratis. It aims to train high-level researchers able to:

• Continue their apprenticeship as researchers in any doctoral course in computing in Brazil (or, eventually, abroad); and
• Apply scientific strategies in searching for modern and innovative computational solutions in the most varied application fields.

Within the philosophy of the course, the master's degree is considered an extension of the undergraduate degree, emphasizing the student's scientific apprenticeship, with responsibility above all for the development and dissemination of knowledge. Thus, it will provide the master's student with the proper professional insertion in their area of research, both in the academic and industrial spheres.

Target Audience

Applications to the PPGCAP will be accepted for holders of higher education diplomas in Exact / Earth Sciences or Engineering. Exceptional cases will be analyzed by the program collegiate and may be accepted by the PPGCAP.

Guidelines and standards for the selection of candidates for the PPGCAP of the Center for Technological Sciences, CCT/UDESC-Joinville, include:

• The PPGCAP Board will appoint an Examining Committee. It will be composed of at least three (3) members plus an alternate, with the Course Coordinator as president or a member indicated by him.
• The Examining Committee will use as a classification criterion, among the selection criteria, an exam with Brazilian validity, specific in ​​computing, such as the POSCOMP. This same exam will be used, among other criteria to be defined by the PPGCAP Board, to distribute scholarships allocated to the program.
• The final statement of the Examining Committee must indicate the candidates who can enroll as regular students of the PPGCAP.
• Until the act of the first enrollment, the student approved in the selection process must obtain a formal commitment of advising from a professor of the course in order to be able to enroll as a regular student of the PPGCAP. If the student does not have a defined advisor, he will be prevented from enrolling in the course.

A public announcement with details of the process and dates for registration and selection will be published every six months.
