The Double Master Degree in Industrial Engineering and in Automation and Robotics aims to combine the integral formation of the Industrial Engineer with a specialization in the field of automation and robotics, technological fields in constant evolution that also contribute to the advancement of other technologies and disciplines.

The students of the Double Master Degree acquire the professional attributions for the exercise of the Industrial Engineer profession and simultaneously an excellent specialized training that will allow the graduated the conception, design and operation of automatic systems and robots in plants and industrial processes, and in other multiple facets of daily life of people such as domotics, medicine, construction, telecommunications, etc. Also, at the end of the double master degree students will be able to access to doctorate studies.

The Double Master Degree in Industrial Engineering and in Automation and Robotics is offered to students who have completed the Bachelor of Engineering in Industrial Engineering (Grado en Ingeniería en Tecnologías Industriales, GITI). It consists of a total of 132 ECTS, of which 102 ECTS are specific to the MS in Industrial Engineering (72 ECTS of compulsory subjects, 18 ECTS of elective-track subjects and 12 ECTS of Master Thesis) and 36 ECTS are specific to the MS in Automation and Robotics.

In this way, students who complete this double degree will study the 72 compulsory ECTS of the MS in Industrial Engineering plus the 12 ECTS of the Master Thesis, totaling 84 ECTS, which would comply with the Orden CIN 325/2009 de 9 de febrero de 2009 and, therefore, will obtain the necessary competences to claim the attributions of the Industrial Engineer profession. They will also complete the remaining 36 ECTS with elective subjects to obtain the 120 ECTS required to obtain a qualification according to the UPM, with the particularity that these 36 ECTS will be in the field of Automation and Robotics.

To achieve the 60 ECTS of the MS in Automation and Robotics, students will take 30 ECTS of the MS in Industrial Engineering (of which 18 correspond to the Track of Automation and Electronics) and 30 specific to the MS in Automation and Robotics (15 of compulsory subjects, 3 of elective subjects and 12 of Master Thesis).
