The research areas of this programme have a high potential for employability
Automotive Engineering
Thus, on the one hand, within the area of Industrial Technologies, Automotive Engineering is a growing sector in Spain. This sector generates approximately 10% of GDP and also represents 17% of the country's exports. Spanish production plants are among the most automated in Europe, with high investment rates. In terms of R&D, the sector has an important network of automotive centres and clusters, with 34 technology centres related to vehicle production. The same can be said of the Materials line, in which there is growing interest from industry. The Materials profile is one of the most in-demand at international level, with a great projection in research, innovation and development.
Business Research and Development
Graduates will be able to develop their professional career in the Research and Development departments of companies related to industrial and computer technologies. Technological or research centres and Universities are other professional opportunities for graduates of this programme.
