Programme profile
In everyday life we use a myriad of electronic devices: computers, mobile phones, televisions, audio players, digital cameras, cars, the control systems of industrial plants and those that handle financial transactions (from cash machines to the stock market). The creation and development of these applications require diverse skills, ranging from a thorough knowledge of application to expertise in various fields of engineering.
In the general context of information engineering, this programme presents a broad spectrum approach that balances the study of subjects that are specific to electronics with a sound preparation in areas related to informatics, telecommunications and industrial automation.
Compared to other degrees in the field, the electronics programme is more focused on the design of physical objects, ranging from the tiniest nanotechnology-based devices, to complex systems of huge dimensions. All this requires a thorough knowledge of the characteristics of electronic devices, circuits and systems of all types, complemented by wide-ranging engineering expertise in design, engineering, production, and management of laboratories and facilities.

Programme content
This programme has a single core curriculum that provides basic engineering concepts and thorough knowledge of the main characteristics of electronic components, devices and systems and their applications.
The programme begins with topics common to all engineering, then goes on to more specific content of the information sector, and concludes with subjects focused on different aspects of electronics.
The first year of the undergraduate degree is devoted to basic engineering subjects: mathematics, physics, chemistry and computer science. The second year explores mathematics and physics as they relate to information technology, and includes modules on: electrical engineering, informatics, general electronics and measurement. The third year focuses on the specific contents of electronic engineering, integrated with topics of telecommunications and automation.
During the third year, students can choose an internship in a company.
