I am thinking about taking a degree in Informatics Engineering. I was wondering about how similar it is to Computer Science and how foreign companies look at it. For example, Google hires Computer Scientists, they never mention Informatics Engineering. I've seen other advertisements hiring CS graduates, but never Informatics Engineers. Why? Because Informatics Engineering is a South European term. Spain, Portugal and Italy have this degree mainly.
My question is, how well can I do in foreign countries? (And no, I can't take CS around here
).
Here is the list of subjects for the first 2 years (it's 3 years of licensing, 2 years of mastering and no-idea for doctoring).

The subject names were translated from Portuguese, so they may not be perfect. What do you think of the subjects and how similar it is to CS around there (USA and stuff)?

I find the lack of functionality and information on the linked website slightly concerning, as well as the full-sized JPG of the course coordinator embedded as a thumbnail.
