REQUIREMENTS
Access to the Master's Degree is open to those who hold a Graduate Degree or equivalent qualification, preferably in the field of Industrial Engineering, without ruling out other related disciplines, such as other engineering or architecture, which provide the candidate with a solid theoretical foundation that will allow him/her to approach the subjects taught in the Master's Degree with sufficient academic guarantee.
According to the fields of knowledge defined in Annex 1 of Royal Decree 822/2021, degrees in the fields of industrial engineering, mechanical engineering, automatic engineering, industrial organization engineering and navigation engineering are considered suitable for admission to the master's degree program.
In addition to the degrees linked to the aforementioned field, applications from other degrees, such as architecture, construction, building and urban planning, and civil engineering, which would allow the student to follow the subjects included in the master's degree without problems and without the need for additional training, will be considered. In the case of applicants who have graduated from these degrees, the academic committee of the master's degree will evaluate their suitability in view of their academic background and professional experience, assessing their competence profile in the following areas:
- Fundamentals and techniques of industrial design, expression and graphic design, computer aided design
- Materials and mechanics
- Manufacturing processes, production organization, and project management
ADMISSION CRITERIA
The selection of students will be made on the basis of:
ADMISSION CRITERIA WEIGHTING Academic record of access studies 5 Level of knowledge of other languages 1 Professional experience in the field of Engineering 2 Applicant's motivation, interest and expected commitment to the program 2 ADMISSION PROFILE
The degree is aimed at students who hold a graduate degree or equivalent qualification, preferably in the field of Industrial Engineering, without ruling out other related disciplines, such as other engineering or architecture, as indicated in the previous section, which will provide the candidate with a solid theoretical foundation that will allow him/her to approach the subjects taught in the master's degree with sufficient academic guarantee.
