The fourth industrial revolution brings many challenges to companies in most sectors and allows new business models that until now were not possible. The Connected Industry 4.0 (CI4.0) is marked by a deep digitization of society and combines intelligent production technologies with high-speed communications that allow real-time access to big data and services.
This official Master is aimed at training students interested in working in companies that are accomplishing the transition to CI4.0 in a multidisciplinary way. This transition requires the combination of industrial engineering (automation, robotics, mechanics) and telecommunications engineering (5G, industrial protocols, cybersecurity) with other disciplines such as industrial organization and Big Data analysis, including the system integration part.
The Master, which is taught entirely in English, is professionally focused on multinational environments. It provides students with the tools to learn the fundamental technologies associated with CI4.0 and it is taught by instructors from five different knowledge areas. In addition, industry experts present and analyse the most innovative applications. Internships are offered in the main companies in the sector, as well as scholarships for tuition.
It is a Master's degree with official recognition, in a public university of maximum prestige and at public prices.

La selección de candidatos se hará sobre la base de los siguientes criterios:
Applications will be considered based on the following criteria:
ADMISSION CRITERIA % Academic record of access studies 50% Level of knowledge of other languages higher than the minimum required * 10% Professional experience 20% Motivation, interest and recommendation letters 10% Other 10% * Minimum Level of English required: B2.
STUDENT PROFILE
Regarding the entry profile, and given that the Master's degree is technology-oriented, it will focus on Engineers and Graduates in different Engineering, mainly from the branch of the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers). But also more mechanical profiles are contemplated and even of engineers in industrial organization.
There are two groups of students:
- 1) students from Spanish (or foreign) universities, and particularly from Madrid, who: a) have completed degrees in the Industrial Engineering branch and have a lack of communication technologies and data analysis; and b) students who have completed degrees in the branch of Telecommunications Engineering and that have deficiencies in industrial technologies and data analysis.
- 2) professionals related to the industrial and service sectors who need to update their knowledge regarding the implementation of the connected Industry 4.0.
Language requirements
Check the general language requirements required to study a Master’s at UC3M, depending on whether it is in Spanish, English or bilingual.
students with foreign university degrees
Once admitted to the Master’s program, students holding a university degree from a higher education institution outside the EHEA must provide the diploma, legalized through diplomatic procedures or by The Hague Apostille, for enrollment. They must also submit their transcript of records, including the grade point average, duly legalized.
More information about Legalization of Foreign Documents.
If needed, documents must be accompanied by an official sworn translation into Spanish.
