Employability
Career Pathways
Information technology is one of the fields with the highest demand for competent professionals in both Spain and internationally.
The combination of a competitive core structure, an experienced teaching team, a firmly established research group at the international level in new technologies applied to the aerospace sector, and an advisory board of leading companies in Spain will prepare you to join the professional environment in a natural seamless way.
The degree course, including its Skills Development modules and the proprietary Digital Transformation qualification, will enable you promptly to obtain a job in positions such as: Developer, Project Manager, Technological Consultant, Technology Entrepreneur or Database Administrator, among other options.
In addition, graduates will have direct admission to the Doctorate in Industrial Technologies in the field of Electronics, once they have completed a Master's degree to specialise in the area.
Professional Competencies
The Bologna Declaration formalized the principles on which the European Higher Education Area should be based: quality, mobility, diversity, competitiveness and employment growth.
From this, Nebrija stands as an academic model of reference, educating students with excellent individual behavior, interaction with their environment and motivated by and for constant and continuous training. The Nebrija Institute of Professional Skills works every day to achieve the differentiation of our students through the development of attitudes and skills.
The main objective is for students to achieve the best of themselves through the development and empowerment of their personal skills and resources through personal self-knowledge.
In addition, some of the professional skills that are worked on within the three seminars are those related to interpersonal skills and active communication skills and negotiation, indispensable for our students to know how to transmit ideas, to argue them, to provide information and opinions in an adequate, clear and convincing way.
Within what will be their work performance, other aspects such as teamwork, conflict resolution and project management ability will be worked on.
In the third block, skills worked on are those aimed at increasing the student's employability. They will work with tools and techniques for job searching, and perform tasks that achieve in the student a greater use of their personal skills.
For all this we have currently active experts in selection of people, professionals dedicated to personal and professional training and professionals dedicated to the world of communication and the arts.
In this way, and in a complementary way to his/her specific training, we help the student create a differentiating pattern in the social and business environment in which he/she will be immersed when he/she finishes his/her studies.

Digital transformation Diploma
The Digital Transformation of businesses and society is one of the real challenges of the present. Processes and collaboration between people, business models and user experience are all affected by this transformation. We are in a digital world with an ever-increasing level of available data. Devices are located everywhere, acquiring and supplying information multiple times per second; people are continuously connected through mobile devices, while digital currencies and other new disruptive concepts and technologies appear all the time. In this context, we need to make use of the tools provided by technology to enable traditional and new companies and society as a whole to meet this challenge.
The Digital Transformation qualification is an extension of the Bachelor's degree curriculum, studied concurrently. It is designed to prepare students for current and future challenges on the job market. The Digital Transformation proprietary qualification was created in such a way that all subjects are updated annually to include recommendations from the advisory board on new trends and knowledge that new graduates should be conversant with. In addition to the subject modules offered by the University and specified in cooperation with businesses, companies can offer subject modules of their own within this course in different formats to support students' interaction with their future working environment. Subjects covered within this course include Mobility, Big Data, the Internet of Things and Cloud Computing.
The initial course structure – which will be updated annually in accordance with market needs – is set out below:
