Ten UC3M degree programs have been awarded Europe’s most prestigious engineering accreditation
6/28/16
Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) has obtained five new European EUR-ACE labels, the most prestigious international engineering accreditation in Europe, in addition to the five that it has already been awarded. Accordingly, the majority of UC3M engineering programs have been awarded this accreditation: UC3M bachelor degrees in Aerospace Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Automation and Industrial Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Audiovisual Systems Engineering, Communications Systems Engineering, Telematics Engineering, Telecommunication Technologies Engineering, and the Master’s in Telecommunication Engineering.
The EUR-ACE label is considered the most prestigious accreditation in Europe that an engineering degree program can obtain. Under the auspices of the ENAEE (European Network for Accreditation of Engineering Education), its aim is to identify high caliber engineering programs in Europe and beyond, facilitating academic and professional mobility. In this way, students from the UC3M School of Engineering (EPS in Spanish) benefit from the possibility of accessing the top job offers in the market within and outside of our country.
This recognition is very important for the UC3M School of Engineering since the EUR-ACE guarantees that its study programs comply with standards of quality and meet the demands of the professional sectors at the European level as stipulated by the ENAEE.
With these ten accredited degree programs and in the case that the other three degree programs (Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Technologies Engineering and Master’s in Industrial Engineering) which have undergone the process receive the accreditation, all of the degree programs at the School of Engineering would have the EUR-ACE label. The only one missing is the bachelor’s degree in Energy Engineering as it is too new to fulfill the requisites of having had two complete graduating classes.
Open Engineering Degree
UC3M is offering the new Open Degree in Engineering in the coming academic year, which enables students to begin their university studies without the need to immediately declare specifically which degree program they wish to pursue. .
In the Madrid Autonomous Community, UC3M is the first university to offer Open Degrees. Such programs have as a point of reference programs in the English and American university systems, whose aim is to provide greater flexibility, allowing the university student to design his or her own study program.
