The Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to be the next major technological wave, with over 50 billion connected devices by 2020, over 14 trillion US$ economic value creation by 2022, and major gains in efficiency for the industry and public administrations. In response to this evolution, professionals and companies need to develop their expertise, update their knowledge and support innovative solutions.
The Master of Advanced Advanced Studies (MAS) in the Internet of Things (MAS-IoT) is co-organized by the University of Geneva, the IoT Forum and Mandat International.

Each module will be evaluated by the participants in order to identify potential improvements.

Participants who successfully complete the programme of the MAS will be awarded the Master of Advanced Studies in Internet of Things / Maîtrise universitaire d’études avancées en Internet of Things delivered by the University of Geneva.

By default, each Module will be organized over two periods of two days, on Friday (14:00-21:00) and Saturday (9:00-14:00/21:00), to facilitate the participation of professionals. Complementary activities, such as laboratory and group works will be part of the programme. The master thesis will be written and submitted by the participant during the subsequent semester.
