Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering

Practical degree with 12 credits of professional internships and collaboration agreements with the best companies and institutions

The Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering is designed for students who have a passion for problem-solving and an interest in the diverse realm of mechanics and its applications in industry and technology. This program encompasses various areas, including the design and manufacturing of vehicles, machinery, engines, automation, robotics, digital industry, additive manufacturing systems, and 3D printing, with a focus on polymeric and metallic materials. It also explores fields like smart materials, biomechanics, energy generation, and the utilization of alternative energy sources.

Mechanical Engineering is a longstanding and highly sought-after discipline within the field of industrial engineering. Its enduring appeal in recent years is due to the versatility and adaptability that mechanical engineers acquire during their university education, making them well-equipped for success in various professional endeavors.

The Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering equips students for regulated professional activities in Spain, with professional privileges equivalent to those of an Industrial Technical Engineer (as per Order CIN/351/2009). Mechanical engineers are known for their adaptability and their ability to apply their knowledge across a wide range of industrial sectors. Additionally, this degree serves as a direct pathway to the Master's Degree in Industrial Engineering and, subsequently, the Doctorate in Industrial Technologies. Notably, the latter program, unique among private universities in Madrid, offers opportunities to engage with research, development, and innovation (R+D+I) teams in companies, universities, or research centers.

In pursuit of these goals, Nebrija University is dedicated to providing students with cutting-edge training, enabling them to acquire essential competences for thriving in the industries and technologies of the future. Our curriculum is distinguished by its highly practical approach, standing out as one of the few programs in Spain that allocates 12 credits for professional internships. Furthermore, we bolster our graduates' employability by extensively incorporating software tools that enhance their engineering project design and simulation capabilities, including Ansys, Catia, Matlab, Python, and Mastercam.

We are also committed to enriching our students' professional profiles, offering specialization diplomas in Digital Industry, Business Analytics, and SAP. Moreover, we provide opportunities to broaden academic horizons through double degree programs, such as Mechanical Engineering + Automobile Engineering, and facilitate international experiences by fostering partnerships with over 400 foreign universities.

Employability recognized in the Rankings

Employability recognized in the Rankings

The commitment of Nebrija University to the academic requirement, training in leading companies and institutions, innovation in multidisciplinary programs and international projection, places the University in the top positions of the most important rankings.

The International Ranking QS Stars awards Nebrija University the maximum score in the quality and satisfaction of students in teaching, employability of the graduates and the internationalization of the institution.

The national rankings also recognize Nebrija University as the first Spanish university in teaching and second in employability, highlighting its performance in research, knowledge transfer and internationalization.

Development of Professional Competences

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.
