Nebrija University was a pioneer in offering the Degree in Automotive Engineering in Spain in its commitment to offer university degrees in strategic areas for our country.
The degree offers students subjects with a solid scientific base with intensification in subjects related to the automotive world and with a practical methodology present from the first year.
The degree is constantly evolving with the latest innovations and technical developments. Subjects such as "Engines", "Regulations", "Quality and management of automotive projects" and "Electric vehicles" ensure that students are at the cutting edge of the state of the art and current affairs in the automotive world.
The Degree in Automotive Engineering is a degree that is very close to the Degree in Mechanical Engineering, although more specifically focused on the automotive sector. However, this sector encompasses a sufficiently wide range of subsectors and areas of activity to justify a specific degree programme as a whole.
Graduates will obtain a very solid scientific base with a great capacity for analysis and the ability to solve multidisciplinary problems, with the capacity to make decisions, with creativity and critical reasoning in the field of automotive engineering.
Engineers will possess leadership and project management skills. They must also know how to handle specifications, regulations and mandatory standards in the automotive sector, as well as analyse and assess the social and environmental impact of the proposed solutions.
Graduates must be able to organise and plan the company. They are also provided with the scientific-technological bases necessary for autonomous learning, or for postgraduate studies that allow them to study in depth and/or specialise in different fields of engineering, in particular for access to postgraduate studies on the automobile and its industrial activity.
Nebrija To Dakar
Discover the Nebrija To Dakar project, where you can actively participate while studying your degree. Nebrija University is part of the Dakar Rally, the most demanding motor race in the world. A long-term project starting in 2022, with a clear roadmap where our students, professors and researchers together with the Sodicars competition team, will integrate new technological advances in this type of vehicles.
Nebrija-Sodicars, a benchmark team in terms of technology, innovation, research and sustainability within the Dakar Rally.
"At the Polytechnic, we encourage hands-on learning through a 'learning by doing' approach, while establishing a close connection with the business world to develop our students as leaders capable of solidly linking theory with practice".
Automobile Club
The Club del Automovil offers students different proposals linked to the various branches on wheels to, in addition to making community among all, help them to deepen in these aspects to which may be linked to your day tomorrow.
- Courses: race stewards, introduction to track engineering, robotics, office automation, introduction to aerodynamics and CFD.
- Activities: team karting, visits to fairs, circuits, rallies, conferences and master classes.
- Projects: Nebrija Carcross, Nebrija To Dakar, Nebrija Power Wheelie, Nebrija Virtual Engineering and Nebrija & Escudería Centro.
