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 Advanced Production and Automation Technologies is to produce graduates who are specialised in automation and control and who are able to integrate company management with design, engineering and manufacturing processes. These graduates may pursue careers at any level of the computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) pyramid. The aim of the specialisation in Optimal Management of Electrical Energy is to produce graduates who are specialised in the management of electrical energy, with an emphasis on integrating energy sources using power converters and on applying communication systems and electronic diagnosis and safety systems to the generation, distribution and storage of electrical energy. The specialisation involves the in-depth study of all systems that control and manage the demand and stability of the network, and takes a close look at renewable energies and smart grids. It also involves the study of electrical and hybrid traction systems that will be integrated in the network in the near future, in the form of electric vehicles and urban transport, and technology for implementing controllers.

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 degree 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.
