Adapting to the European Space of Higher Education has brought about the fact that, until the corresponding changes in the general regulation of jobs in Spain are made, achievement of professional qualification by Industrial Engineers will be joined to their obtaining of a Master degree title.

Basing on this, this degree title will provide qualification that will meet two objectives: first, the students will acquire a solid base of scientific and technological skills and knowledge which will form the ideal profile for completing the following Master studies, thus guaranteeing direct access to it. These Master studies will be the specialised kind (research and PhD oriented) or the Master in Industrial Engineering (which will enable the developing of a career as an industrial engineer). Second, these graduates will receive the qualification needed to develop their work as multi-functional professionals within the mechanical, electrical, chemical and electronic fields, with a solid base of core subjects, and they will be able to join the world of industry and business in logistic and production sectors, business research and development departments, leading positions, management of small and medium-sized companies (PYME), management of industrial companies, coordinating of multi-disciplined working teams and teaching in secondary and vocational training schools.

Industrial Engineering ranges over a great number of fields, both conventional and modern, such as: Electronics and Automatics, Electric Engineering, Bio-Engineering, Industrial Chemistry and Environment, Energy techniques, Metallurgy and Materials Engineering, Building, Machines, Industrial Organisation and Manufacturing. It is the most general of the Engineering degrees and its multidisciplinary base allows professionals to adapt to any business sector, and to find the solution to the different problems that may arise, either in technological, economical or management sectors. Therefore, a professional qualified in this way will be able to access any business sector.

This degree title aims at qualifying the students by giving them a many-sided technological base, thus avoiding possible limitations that other degree titles linked only to one specific technical area may present. The Higher Technical School of Industrial Engineering, through the signed agreements with companies and exchange agreements with other European universities, offers the student the possibility of completing their education with training periods or exchange programmes.
