The process to discontinue the Master’s Degree in Industrial Engineering (78 credits) will begin in the 2023-24 academic year due to the introduction of the Master’s Degree in Industrial Engineering (120 credits), which was approved on 21st November 2022.

Discontinuation Calendar

2023-24

• First- and second-semester subjects will enter the initial (and sole) academic year of discontinuation. Teaching will be adapted as per what is set out in the column ‘2023-24 academic year’, within the following table.
• Third-semester subjects will continue to be offered with teaching.

2024-25

• First- and second-semester subjects will be fully discontinued (no more enrolment will be allowed), regardless of the limit of enrolments per subject set out in the academic progress regulations and what is established in Article 8.2.d of the Academic Regulations.
• Third-semester subjects will enter the initial (and sole) academic year of discontinuation. Teaching will be adapted as per what is set out in the column ‘2024-25 academic year’.

2025-26

• Subjects on the programme will no longer be available for enrolment, regardless of the limit of enrolments per subject set out in the academic progress regulations, and, for third-semester subjects, what is established in Article 8.2.d of the Academic Regulations.

Student Admission

From the 2023-24 academic year onwards no new students will be admitted to the Master’s Degree in Industrial Engineering (78 credits).

Enrolment for Returning Students

Students currently on the Master’s Degree in Industrial Engineering (78 credits) will have one academic year (2023-24) to pass first-year subjects, and two academic years (2023-24 and 2024-25) to pass second-year subjects.

Students may enrol for the first time on a subject as long as they were enrolled in the previous year on any subject for the same or subsequent academic year.

In exceptional cases, students who have reached the limit of enrolments for a subject may request a last enrolment (without taking classes) in the following year. This enrolment must be authorised by the relevant Pro-Vice-Chancellor for teaching, who will make a decision after consulting with the programme coordinator.

The enrolment deadlines for each academic year will be published on the Centre for Postgraduate Studies website.

Students will be allowed to take their master’s viva.

The enrolment fee for the subject will be the same as the public fee that is published annually, and it may vary depending on whether the subject provides classes or not.

Adaptation to the Master’s Degree in Industrial Engineering (120 credits)

Students on the Master’s Degree in Industrial Engineering (78 credits) who have not passed the requirements to be awarded their degree in the stated timeline, or those who simply wish to do so, may request a curriculum adaptation before the old curriculum is discontinued, in accordance with the following equivalences.

Adaptation applications must be submitted to the Centre for Postgraduate Studies within the deadlines published for each academic year.

The fee for the curriculum adaptation process due to discontinuation will be set in accordance with the public fees published every year.

• 11312 - Electronic Instrumentation Systems > 11969 - Electronic Instrumentation Systems
• 11313 - Industrial Control Systems > 11963 - Integrated Systems of Fabrication
• 11314 - Chemical Processes > 11965 - Chemical Processes
• 11320 - Business Organisation and Strategy > 11971 - Business Organisation and Strategy
• 11321 - Logistics and Quality Management > 11973 - Logistics and Quality Management
• 11322 - Human Resources Management > 11974 - Human Resources Management
• 11315 - Electrical Generation, Transport and Distribution Systems > 11962 - Electric Power Generation, Transmission and Distribution
• 11319 - Energy Systems > 11968 - Energy Systems
• 11323 - R&D and Innovation Project Management > 11975 - R&D and Innovation Project Management
• 11324 - Management Control and Evaluation > 11972 - Management Control and Evaluation
• 11326 - Structures > 11977 - Structures
• 11328 - Industrial Quality > 11979 - Industrial Quality
• 11316 - Thermal Machines and Engines > 11966 - Thermal Machines
• 11317 - Technology of Hydraulic Machines > 11967 - Technology of Hydraulic Machines
• 11327 - Industrial Infrastructure > 11978 - Industrial Infrastructure

Subjects that cannot be adapted:

• 11318 - Machine Design
• 11325 - Building and Running Industrial Facilities

Supplementary Training

Students on the Master’s Degree in Industrial Engineering (78 credits) who have yet to take some supplementary training must contact the master’s degree management team.

Adaptation Effects

Only subjects that have been passed or recognised on the curriculum being discontinued will be moved to the new curriculum.

Once the curriculum adaptation has been carried out, the record for the Master’s Degree in Industrial Engineering (78 credits) will be definitively closed (no more enrolment will be allowed) and students will only be able to continue with the Master’s Degree in Industrial Engineering (120 credits) to be awarded their degree.
