Introduction
The goal of the Bachelor’s Degree in Industrial Technologies Engineering is to form professionals who can work in a wide variety of professional areas such as project management and administration, consulting, civil service, business organization and management, and industrial equipment design.
Students in the program will obtain a multidisciplinary education with broad knowledge in different technological fields such as machinery, automation, electronics, electricity, and materials, among others, enabling them to adapt with ease to the constantly evolving technological developments.
The degree can be studied in a bilingual mode and allows direct access to the University Master’s Degree in Industrial Engineering. Authorization to exercise the regulated profession of industrial engineering is obtained only through this master’s degree program.
Graduates holding this degree are greatly valued by companies, as demonstrated by their 100% employability rate, confirmed by different studies carried out by professional engineering associations and UC3M.
Studies with a bilingual option
In this degree, the university offers the opportunity to study in English more than half of the subjects of the studies program. Once you have been admitted, you will choose, at the time of enrollment, the language in which you will study by the following conditions:
- In groups in English, all work (classes, drills, exercises, tests, etc.) will be conducted in English.
- During the first year, it must establish an English B2 level, perform a test, and provide one of the supported official certificates or any way determined by the university. In the first weeks of the course will inform students how they can prove their level.
- The courses offered in English are in the studies program.
- In case there are more applications than places available in English, interested persons will be ranked according to their admission grade.
- If you are enrolled in English and exceed at least 50% of the credits offered at the UC3M, in the DS appears a mention of bilingual studies.

Mobility
Exchange programs
The Erasmus program permits UC3M first-degree and post-graduate students to spend one or several terms at one of the European universities with which UC3M has special agreements or take up an Erasmus Placement, a work placement or internship at an EU company. These exchanges are funded with Erasmus Grants which the EU and the Spanish Ministry of Education provide.
The non-European mobility program enables UC3M degree students to study one or several terms in one of the international universities with which the university has special agreements. It also has funding from the Banco Santander and the UC3M.
These places are offered in a public competition and are awarded to students with the best academic record and who have passed the language threshold (English, French, German, etc..) requested by the university of destination.

Program Outcome
The graduate profile includes skills that are pertinent to engineering degrees relating to the industrial sphere, such as mechanical processes, generation transport and use of electrical power, automation, and process control, manufacturing and use of new materials and components, energy and chemical processes, and other types of process, business organization techniques applied to the industrial sphere, study of structures, environmental aspects, waste management all of which is from a multidisciplinary perspective which considers not only one of the specific themes described but also their interrelation, together with questions of organization and logistics which affect processes.
In addition, the bachelor’s degree covers a wide range of optional courses that will enable students to adapt their curriculum to their interests, professional or personal. Therefore, this is a qualification that proposes an educational balance between basic sciences, fundamental techniques of the industry and applied technologies while preparing students for a master's degree in Industrial Engineering, which will permit the acquisition of training and skills for which there is a high demand in the labor market. Both the educational structure of the bachelor’s degree and the associated master's degree are designed to enable students to complete their bachelor’s degree + master's in most cases thus obtaining skills and level of knowledge comparable to the traditional "Industrial Engineering" degree.
