Subjects
Entrance requirements
  • Batxillerat (Spanish upper-secondary education certificate) with a pass in the Selectivitat (University Entrance Examination).
  • Advanced Vocational Training Module or equivalent.
  • Entrance for over 25s, 40s and 45s.
  • Possession of a university degree.
  • Upper secondary education certificates from the EU or from non-EU countries whose certificate is automatically recognised by Spain, with consent for admission issued by the Spanish National University of Distance Education (UNED).
  • Non-EU studies that have been officially recognised as equivalent to a Batxillerat with a pass in the University Entrance Examination.
 
Worth Noting
  • The economic, social and cultural importance of ICT explains the high professional demand for this degree and, therefore, easy access into the work market.
  • Students can choose from the optional subjects that are included within the Computer Engineering curriculum and also the optional subjects within the degrees in Multimedia Engineering and Telematics Engineering. This gives them the opportunity to design their own education in relation to different academic and professional pathways.
  • The subjects are semestral and each consists of 6 credits, with the exception of the external internships and final project, which count for 12.
  • The ETSE qualifications have been designed to guarantee mobility and transferability (shared credits) between them, and to facilitate the acquisition of a second qualification. The Degree in Computer Engineering has transferable credits with the degrees in:
  • These subjects are common to all ETSE degrees.
    • Business
    • Engineering, society and the university
    • Physics A
    • Computing
    • Mathematics I
    • Mathematics II
    • Mathematics III
