General requirements Academic requirements for admission to master's degrees Specific requirements

This 120-credit master's programme consists of four semesters: bridging, core, specialisation and thesis. The syllabus of the first two semesters is compulsory, depending on the admission level. The syllabus of the specialisation semester is optional and focuses on both professional training and research. There are four specialisations: Power Electronics, Devices and Microsystems, Integrated Circuits and Systems, and Instrumentation and Measurements.

The  bridging courses  include subjects that some students will be required to take if they are not graduates of the bachelor’s degree in Electronic Systems Engineering or the equivalent from another university. The maximum number of ECTS credits that students are allowed to earn for bridging courses is 30, and these are included in the total of 120 ECTS credits for the master’s degree.

  • Most students will have degrees in Telecommunications Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or Applied Physics. Students may be admitted to different semesters of the master's programme on the basis of  the subject of their degree and their academic CV.
  • Potential master's degree candidates include both Spanish and foreign students with a bachelor's degree (a three- or four-year undergraduate university degree) in electrical engineering, computer engineering or applied physics. Until bachelor's programmes have been fully established, candidates may also come from pre-EHEA diploma programmes.
  • Students with a bachelor's degree in Telecommunications or Electronic Engineering may be admitted to the core semester.
  • Students admitted to the official postgraduate programme for the doctoral degree in Electronic Engineering who are required to take bridging courses may be admitted to the specialisation semester. Students from the pre-EHEA second cycle degree in Electronic Engineering who have completed all core and compulsory subjects may also be admitted to the specialisation semester.
