The aim of the master's degree in Automatic Systems and Industrial Electronics Engineering is to produce top-level professionals in automation and industrial electronics. Automatic control and industrial electronics are crucial to the development of a society that is increasingly focused on information and knowledge as a basis for decision making, and essential for the functioning of any automatic or robotic control system. Graduates will be able to respond to the needs of sectors dealing with production processes and systems for generating, distributing and storing energy; the transport sector; and the logistics sector.

The aim of the specialisation in Intelligent Systems is to produce professionals who are capable of managing the entire life cycle of intelligent systems, from their design to their development, implementation and verification, in any sphere of application in which detection, actuation and control functions are required. Intelligent systems enable factories to be automated following the Industry 4.0 concept, which allows technical integration of cyber-physical systems (CPS) in production and logistics, as well as the use of the internet in industrial processes.

Intelligent systems allow machines, storage systems and equipment to work together in a network, leading to a “smart factory” in which intelligent machines exchange information and are constantly adapting to new production requirements. This reduces costs, increases productivity and saves a considerable amount of energy.

The "intelligence" of a system may be understood as its autonomous operation based on control with the aim of increasing energy efficiency, reducing costs and maximising performance. This specialisation emphasises the integration of different technologies, different component sizes and different materials in a single system. Graduates will have an interdisciplinary work focus that will enable them to come up with integrated technological solutions.

Admission Requirements

General academic access requirements

1. An official Spanish university qualification or an official university qualification issued by a university in the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) that qualifies the holder for admission to a master's degree.

2. A qualification issued by a university in a country that is not in the EHEA. If the qualification has not been homologated, the UPC will verify that the course of study corresponds to a level of education equivalent to an official Spanish university degree and that the qualification obtained would provide admission to a master’s degree in the country in which it was awarded. This access route in no way implies the homologation of the qualification or its recognition for any purpose other than admission to the master's degree. The master's diploma will, however, be fully and legally valid.

In addition to these general access requirements, which apply to all master's degree courses, specific admission requirements may be set for each programme.

3. Master's are also open to UPC bachelor's degree students who have not awarded the bachelor's diploma because they have not completed the bachelor's thesis and up to 9 ECTS credits (including credits pending recognition or transfer) or they have not yet attained the cross-disciplinary competency in a foreign language, if applicable.

The school responsible for a master's degree may set additional conditions on credits pending for these bachelor's degree students, or prevent them from gaining admission via this route.

Under no circumstances will students be awarded a master's degree without having first been awarded a bachelor's diploma.

4. Holders of an official university diploma corresponding to curricula in accordance with the first additional provision of Royal Decree 822/2021 may be considered for admission to a master's degree provided that they
•    hold an official undergraduate diploma;
•    hold an official university diploma.

Specific admission requirements and criteria

In addition to the general requirements, specific admission requirements and criteria may be set for given master's degrees. These specific requirements may include specific access qualifications, requisites for foreign languages, and bridging course requirements.

In all cases, what is taken into consideration includes the weighting of the academic record.

The selection process may also include an examination and an appraisal of the candidate's CV. Further information is available on the master's degree website.
