Exchange programs

The Erasmus programme permits UC3M first degree and post graduate students to spend one or several terms at one of the European universities with which UC3M has special agreements or take up an Erasmus Placement, that is a work placement or internship at an EU company. These exchanges are funded with Erasmus Grants which are provided by the EU and the Spanish Ministry of Education.

The non-european mobility program enables UC3M degree students to study one or several terms in one of the international universities with which the university has special agreements. It also has funding from the Banco Santander and the UC3M.

These places are offered in a public competition and are awarded to students with the best academic record and who have passed the language threshold  (English, French, German etc..) requested by the university of destination.

Graduated profile

The dual degree in Informatics Engineering and Business Administration gives students the following broad profile.

Informatics Engineers from Universidad Carlos III of Madrid will be professionals with a complete education in all the fundamental fields of Information Technology. Their training will position them as professionals with a general profile that responds, due to their capabilities and solid education, to the expectations of the professional world, not only when they enter a company or public administration for the first time, but also in the future, since they will be prepared to become part of field as changing as Information Technology.

In terms of specialization, graduates can, in part, define their own curriculum through the choice of electives. Graduates can focus their curriculum in three areas: information systems development, applications and distributed systems and artificial intelligence.

In addition to this purely technical education, graduates will have received training in communication skills, humanities and languages, which will strengthen their ability to compete in areas of personal communication, efficiency in transmitting their knowledge and ease in forming part of national and international teams.

After receiving the education for this degree, the graduate will be able to work in any company in the sector. Some of the most professionalized fields within this sector are: computing centers, research and teaching centers, hardware and software companies, financial, telecommunications, technology, security entities and IT consulting companies. Within these public and private entities, the graduate will be able to carry out jobs such as:

• IT department manager.
• IT project manager.
• Communications systems manager.
• R+D manager in the TIC sector.
• Systems consultant.
• IT auditor.
• Security and systems manager.
• IT systems analyst.
• Database administrator.
• Carrying out teaching tasks in the area of TIC.

Additionally, the general objective of the Degree in Business Administration is to train people who will be able to create their own businesses as well as perform any type of function within the area of direction and management of companies or other public or private organizations. To undertake this objective, students who complete the Degree in Business Administration must be able to approach any problem with scientific rigor, taking advantage of all the knowledge, skills and attitudes that are necessary within the area of study in Business Administration, but simultaneously aware that their practical application has consequences which affect society (ethical element).

The purpose of this degree qualification is for students to acquire the minimum general and specific skills and competences that they need in their studies in order to obtain their degree. In addition, the aforementioned Art. 3 contains details of the minimum competences required, however referring to Art. 3.5 of RD 1393/2007, and the attitudes students should adopt in applying these skills and competence.

Bloom's Taxonomy is the theoretical structure chosen to explain the fundamental competences required to educate students in this qualification. This theoretical framework not only defines the competence required, but classifies the learning objectives, based on the students' intellectual development. As in the case of any generic classification, this enables a detailed categorisation of a greater number of specifics which in our case result in the inclusion of an increased number of skills. However, in order to identify the skills and abilities required according to the Royal Decree  and also those valued by Universidad Carlos III,  an asterisk has been added to the previous section along with the following summary:

1. Art. 3.1 of Appendix I of RD 1393/2007 refers to the requisite attitude that  students should demonstrate when applying any skill or competence and these have been considered  specifically as follows:

• An attitude of respect to fundamental rights and equal gender rights.
• An attitude promoting Human Rights, principles of universal accessibility and equal opportunities.
• An attitude of non-discrimination and universal accessibility of disabled persons.
• Acting in accordance with the values proper to a culture of peace and democratic values.

2. Art. 3.2 of Appendix I of RD 1393/2007 requires 5 skills essential for the qualifications which we have classified as:

• Knowledge:

1. Students have demonstrated that they possess and understand information and knowledge in an area that also includes some aspects implying familiarity with the latest developments in their field of study.
2. Students know how to apply that knowledge to their work or professional vocation and possess the skills usually demonstrated by elaborating on and defending their arguments, and solving problems in their area of study;

• Skills:

1. Students are able to compile and interpret relevant information for issuing opinions, including a reflection on relevant themes of a social, scientific or ethical nature.
2. Students are able to transmit information, ideas, problems and solutions to both a specialised and non-specialist public;
3. Students have developed those learning skills required to undertake further studies with a considerable degree of autonomy.

Summarising  and specifying the ultimate goals of our qualification, these would be:

• Identifying and undertaking business initiatives
• Managing and administering companies or other public or private institutions.
• Integrating in any functional area of a business.
• Resolving management and administration problems
• Performing advisory and business consulting tasks.
