Madrid
It acquires a global vision in the analysis of industrial and engineering processes, with a commitment to digital certifications, innovation projects with companies and a campus at the forefront of technology.
Because it trains you to optimise processes, manage operations and improve the efficiency of organisations, combining engineering, technology and strategic vision in industrial and business environments.
Due to globalisation and the massive processing of information, there is an increasing need for professionals capable of providing a global vision in the analysis of engineering processes, which leads to the need to promote degrees such as the Bachelor's Degree in Industrial Systems Engineering.
What will you learn in this industrial engineering degree?
UAX MAKERS
Carry out real projects with companies. The UAX Makers model is based on the collaborative work of students who coordinate to respond to a real project. To do this, we bring together profiles from different degrees, encouraging diversity of approaches and teamwork as the keys to achieving the best possible solution.
You will simulate and program robotic arms to validate automation processes before their real application with the professional industrial robotics simulator RoboDK.

The Degree in Industrial Systems Engineering trains professionals capable of designing, managing and optimising complex systems within the industrial environment. It is an engineering degree with a global vision of industry, combining technical, technological and organisational knowledge to improve production processes, industrial systems and business operations. The aim is to train versatile engineers capable of adapting to different industrial and technological sectors.
Career opportunities are very broad and cover many industrial and technological sectors. An Industrial Systems Engineer can work in production, logistics, maintenance, industrial management, automation, technology consultancy, energy, automotive or operations management. It is also a highly valued profile in companies seeking to improve the efficiency of their processes and adapt to digital and industrial transformation.
Ingeniería de Sistemas Industriales comparte base con otras ingenierías industriales, pero suele tener un enfoque más transversal e integrador. Mientras algunas ramas industriales se especializan en áreas concretas como mecánica o electricidad, esta titulación está más orientada a comprender cómo interactúan los distintos sistemas dentro de una organización industrial. El foco está en optimizar procesos, integrar tecnologías y mejorar el funcionamiento global de sistemas complejos.
Yes, it is a career with very good job prospects due to the growing need to optimise industrial processes and manage complex technological environments. Digitalisation, automation and the transition to Industry 4.0 are increasing the demand for engineers with a global vision and the ability to coordinate different technical areas. Companies are looking for versatile profiles capable of adapting to increasingly technological and connected industrial environments.
It is a demanding engineering because it combines technical reasoning, analytical skills and a global vision of industrial processes. It requires perseverance and adaptation to technical work and the resolution of complex problems. However, many students emphasise precisely the variety of areas covered by the degree, as it allows them to understand the overall functioning of industry and not just a specific speciality.
You can work in industrial, energy, technology, logistics and consulting companies, as well as multinationals linked to production and operations. There are also opportunities in industrial project management, strategic planning, process improvement and digital transformation. It is a very adaptable profile, which makes it easy to work in different sectors and types of organisation.
Yes, industry and the management of production systems are global fields, which is why this profile has a good international projection. Countries with a strong industrial fabric such as Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland or the United States demand engineers capable of managing complex industrial systems and automation processes. In addition, many multinationals particularly value profiles with a global vision and technical coordination capacity.
Salaries depend on the sector, experience and level of responsibility. In Spain, a junior profile usually starts between €24,000 and €33,000 gross per year. With experience and access to management or operations management positions, salaries can increase significantly. In advanced industrial sectors and multinationals, the economic conditions tend to be particularly competitive.
It tends to be a good fit for students interested in technology, industrial organisation and process improvement. It is also a good option for those who are looking for versatile engineering and do not want to limit themselves to a single technical speciality. Analytical skills, an interest in innovation and a strategic vision are particularly useful characteristics for doing well in this career.
Yes, especially for those seeking engineering with high employability, versatility and direct connection to today's industrial transformation. The ability to understand and optimise complex systems is increasingly valuable in a digitalised and competitive industrial environment. In addition, it offers multiple career opportunities and possibilities for growth towards technical, management and industrial leadership positions.
