Interuniversitary studies of Universidad Carlos III de Madrid with, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and Universidad Autonoma de Madrid.
Degree with minors in Earth Sciences and Environment, Science and Technology and Biosciences.
Presentation
The Bachelor’s Degree in Sciences is organized by three universities: Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M), Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM) and Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB).
This degree program, with a marked interdisciplinary perspective, seeks to train professionals who are capable of providing scientific solutions to a wide range of problems in the social, economic or business ambit which require scientific knowledge, and horizontal and multidisciplinary technology. Some areas for its applied knowledge are: disease control, catastrophe management, energy generation and distribution, and identification and implementation of appropriate technologies for developing countries, among others.
This bachelor’s degree provides scientific knowledge and multidisciplinary technology in mathematical sciences, physics-chemistry, Earth and life sciences, as well as their relation in the technology, economic and social ambits, among others.
The Bachelor’s Degree in Sciences is unique in its being offered between Madrid and Barcelona. The first year is taught at UAM and UC3M. The second year takes place at the UAB and in a coordinated manner at UAM and UC3M. During the third and fourth year that focus on electives and the Senior Year Project, students can opt for international mobility and /or study of subjects at the university where enrolled. The program will be taught for this first time during academic year 2020-21.
Employability and profesional internships
UC3M has agreements with more than 5,000 companies and institutions for internships and access to employment opportunities
94.8% of graduates have access to a job related to their studies in the first year of graduation, according to the Study of Professional Insertion of Graduates of the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid.

Administrative Information
Interuniversity Bachelor Degree in Science
This degree is taught jointly by the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M), the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM) and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), with the UAM being the coordinating university.
Thus, some courses are held in Madrid and others in Barcelona:
- First course: Madrid (first semester at UAM and second semester at UC3M).
- Second course, first four-month period: Barcelona (UAB)
- Second year, second term: Madrid (UC3M and UAM, alternating days)
- Third and fourth year: Each student takes the third and fourth year at the university that granted him/her admission.
Language
Students admitted to UC3M may take their subjects in Spanish and/or English. The language of each course is indicated in the study program.
Admission
Each of the participating universities will allocate 15 places. However, during the first two years, the 45 students will form a single group.
For this reason, the cut-off marks and weightings may be different at each university. Please consult the admission information for each university for more information.
Enrolment and academic regulations
The coordinating university (UAM) will be responsible for the enrolment of all students during all academic years. Therefore, the fees to be paid will be those established by the Community of Madrid.
Those admitted to this degree at UC3M will receive, by e-mail, the necessary information to formalise their enrolment at the UAM. In addition, they will be issued with the university card of the three universities.
The rules of permanence and enrolment that will be applied will be those of the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, and can be consulted here.
International mobility
In this degree there is the possibility of carrying out an international mobility stay, within the Erasmus programme. The corresponding agreements and the allocation of available places will be managed by the UAM.
Profile and career opportunities
- Entry Profile
Entry profile
The student will receive basic training in mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and geology during the first two years of studies, in order to acquire a multidisciplinary knowledge of the sciences in the third and fourth years, which will allow him/her to have an adequate and sufficient vision to analyze the problems posed with scientific and multidisciplinary arguments.
On the other hand, the Degree in Science proposed here will be aimed at a new student profile, to which not much attention has been paid so far, and which is different from the one that normally accesses the classic degrees in science. On the one hand, this student would be more interested in obtaining a serious, broad and global vision of the sciences, which will allow him/her to integrate knowledge from fields that often appear disjoint in our current teaching systems. On the other hand, the student will receive a presentation of them focused not only on their more scientific and technical side, but also offering a vision of their synergies and relationships with social, technological and humanistic fields. Overall, it will provide you with a general perspective, which you will be able to complete later and specifically, if you so decide, with Master's studies.
Access routes and application for a place in the degree program
- Graduate Profile
Graduate profile
The degree will provide students with a broad training as professionals with a scientific profile in different areas of science with certain transversal skills in communication and science management. This multidisciplinary training, in accordance with the growing demand for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) professionals, will allow these graduates to develop their professional activity in industry and scientific dissemination among others, as well as access to postgraduate studies that will allow them to access teaching and/or research.
