Pos-graduate program between Universidade de Aveiro and Carnegie Mellon University
The University of Aveiro - Portugal in collaboration with Carnegie Mellon University - USA is teaming up to offer a Professional Master in Information Networking (MSIN) in Portugal.
The Aveiro MSIN program builds upon students’ technical backgrounds to give them the broadened perspective and tactical expertise required to become leaders in the quickly developing field of information technology and information networking. Coursework takes place at the University of Aveiro and uses a hybrid distributed education format that combines locally taught courses with courses taught from Carnegie Mellon via video-conferencing technologies.
The Program is a dual degree program, which allows the student to have a post-graduate diploma in Europe and a Professional Master degree in USA.

Well it doesn’t 
“Mestrado Integrado” gives you the basic engineering tool (before the Bologne Process this would be simply a “Licenciatura”).
MSIN on the other hand goes way beyond basic concepts, and it is not an academic (as in theoretic) degree. It prepares professionals for the market therefore it’s partnership with companies such as Portugal Telecom and Nokia Siemens Networks.
MSIN is highly technical, with a strong emphasis into practical work and projects and highly demanding.
I recommended it to any “Mestrado Integrado” student finishing it’s degree, that would like to have 2 more years to get better technical skills

So, after I complete Mestrado Integrado, would I be elligible for MSIN?
Wouldn’t a Phd be more important for my (academic or not) career?

For what i read in the MSIN information page, to be accepted you need to have a degree average of 14 at least, and they don’t say anithing about the cost of each year… i suspect that the price is… high!
All knowledge, in my opinion, is important, but of course i think that most of you would agree that experience in the field is in most of the times, more important in relation to a Master degree or a PhD.
Fortunatly (or not) i’m not able to enter in MSIN (for now, MIECT comes first), but if those that are now in the course, get all the experience that MSIN promotes in the webpage, maybe i will think twice when i graduate.

How does MSIN relate with Mestrado Integrado? Are they the same graduation level?
