The UC3M commits to interdisciplinarity, internationalisation and joint degrees in its new bachelor’s degrees
3/3/20
The Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) commits to interdisciplinarity, internationalisation and collaboration with other institutions in their new bachelor’s degree offers, with four new degrees for the academic year 2020/21. On one hand the Science Degree which is undertaken alongside the UAM and the UAB. On the other hand, two new Joint Degrees in Science and Data Engineering and Telecommunication Technologies and Physical and Industrial Technologies Engineering. Lastly, a new international Joint Degree in Business Administration and Management from the UC3M and the Bachelor in Management from the ESCP. With these updates, which will be presented within the framework of AULA 2020, the Salón Internacional del Estudiante y de la Oferta Educativa (Student and Education Opportunities International Hall), the UC3M strengthens its offer of bilingual studies, one of the best among Spanish public universities as 78% of its degrees can be studied in English or with a bilingual option.
The Science Degree is organised by three universities: the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M), the Autonomous University of Madrid (UAM) and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB). This degree, with a strong interdisciplinary nature, intends to train professionals capable of offering scientific solutions for numerous problems in the social, economic and business fields which require multidisciplinary scientific and technological knowledge. Examples of which are: controlling the spread of diseases, disaster management, energy production and distribution, and identification and implantation of appropriate technology for developing countries, among others. The Science Degree has the peculiarity that it is taught between Madrid and Barcelona: the first year is taught at the UAM and the UC3M: the second year at the UAB, coordinated between the UAM and the UC3M: during the third and fourth years, focused on the Dissertation and study of optional subjects, students can choose between international mobility and/or studying the subjects at the university in which the student is currently enrolled.
The UC3M’s Joint Degree in Science and Data Engineering and Telecommunication Technologies is aimed at students interested in data sciences and artificial intelligence and the technologies that support them, such as programming in different languages and environments, digital business models, data cyber security and telecommunications, as well as cloud solutions for IT and storage, among others. These studies offer the student a wide view of applications in the field of data analysis and the secure storage thereof. Both degrees are based on two instrumental disciplines, maths and IT, and they share some common roots in the statistic processing of information. The Degree is taught in a bilingual format, having specific lab classes for practising in smaller groups and offering the possibility of undertaking internships with the leading companies in the sector.
The UC3M’s Joint Degree in Physical Engineering and Industrial Technology Engineering is aimed at students who wish to participate in the creation, design and implementation of the technology of the future, both in research centres and high level international technology companies. To do so, they will learn the basic principles of Classic and Modern Physics, Chemistry and Biology as well as the application thereof in well established areas of Engineering, such as Mechanics, Electronics, Electricity and Automation, as well as in other areas where scientific and technological developments advance jointly such as Nanotechnology, Quantum Computing and Biomaterials. The degree is taught in a bilingual format, having specific lab classes for practising in smaller groups and offering the possibility of undertaking internships with the leading companies in the sector. It also allows direct access to the Master’s Degree in Industrial Engineering, which enables the regulated profession of Industrial Engineering to be exercised.
New international joint degree
The UC3M’s Joint Degree in Business Administration and Management (ADE, in its Spanish acronym) and ESCP Business School’s Bachelor in Management is aimed at students with a high level in languages, who wish to undertake ambitious training and international experience to recognise the necessary tools to be able to manage any business in a global manner. This new joint degree is a 4 year programme which is taught in 3 different countries: students will study on either the London or Paris ESCP campus during the first year; the second year is split between the UC3M (first semester) and ESCP Business School (second semester on the campus based in Madrid), the third year can be studied on the Paris or Berlin ESCP campus and the entirety of the fourth year at the UC3M. The admission requirements for the 15 places to be offered (10 for the ESCP and 5 for the UC3M) are focused on the students’ academic marks, their motivation and their language level (Spanish, English and French).
The UC3M is a Spanish public university which stands out in teaching, research and innovation. It ranks 34th on a global level in the QS Top 50 Under 50 ranking and is included in the Times Higher Education (THE) 150 Under 50. It is the top university in Spain and third in Europe for the number of students undertaking the Erasmus Programme and holds more than 870 agreements with universities from 56 countries, among which some of the best universities in the world, according to Shanghai Rankings’ Academic Ranking of World Universities, can be found. 20% of students at the UC3M are international students. The UC3M has numerous accreditations and quality distinctions, such as the EUR-ACE label in the field of Engineering and AACSB accreditation in the Business and Finance programmes, among others.
