This master’s program has a duration of 120 ECTS credits, distributed over two academic years. The curriculum offers different study pathways depending on the students’ previous degree, with the aim of leveling their knowledge in industrial technologies.

The summarized curriculum provides an overview of the different pathways and specializations.

The credits are distributed as follows:

Module (ECTS)

• Industrial Technologies (30–39)
• Management (15)
• Installations, Plants, and Auxiliary Constructions (16.5–21)
• Specialization (30)
• External Internships in Companies (4.5)
• Elective Courses (0–7.5)
• Master’s Thesis (15)

In the second year, five specializations of 15 ECTS each are offered, from which students must choose two:

• Continuum Mechanics Simulation
• Machine Design and Simulation
• Materials Science
• Logistics and Production
• Automation and Control

In order to ensure the ability to work in a multilingual environment, students must demonstrate a B2 level of English proficiency, which must be accredited before the master’s degree is awarded.

Student mobility

UDC holds student mobility agreements with universities and other third-level institutions across four continents. Students are offered several opportunities each year to apply to study abroad in one of these centres (for a single term or for a whole year), with the guarantee that all credits obtained will be duly recognised in their academic record upon their return.

For each round of applications, the University publishes the list of exchange options available to students and, where relevant, the specific conditions associated with each. Students may also apply to the University for funding for international work experience placements and internships.

Work experience placements are accredited in the student's academic record and the European diploma supplement. Students are free to decide in which host company or academic institution within the EHEA they wish to carry out their placement. To assist them in their search, the University has created an online noticeboard with jobs postings and other news.

Work-study placements in A Coruña are arranged by the International Relations Office (ORI) of the UDC in collaboration with the international relations coordinators in the student’s home university. The general entry criteria, rights and obligations of students, and admission and acceptance procedures for the programme, are regulated by the UDC Mobility Policy.
