The overall objective of the proposed programme is to teach courses leading to the Master’s degree in Automation and Robotics, complementary to the research required to obtain a Doctorate at the University of Alicante. The programme also aims to train professionals to the highest level in research and development in these disciplines, in order to meet a demand that will grow progressively in the next 30 or 40 years.
The programme’s specific objectives are as follows:

For part-time students, shall be sent 18 credits of compulsory courses in the first semester of the first course and 12 credits of compulsory courses in the first semester of the second course (in the following table lists the subjects to be taught in each semester). As for the optional credits are allocated as follows: 12 credits will be given in the second semester of the first year and 6 in the second semester of the second course. Each elective course may take a quarter or another student's choice. If you wish to pursue internships will be developed in the second semester of second year and will have the equivalent to 6 elective credits. Finally, the Final Master shall be made during the second semester of the second course.

Note: (ob) compulsory; (opt) optional.
* These courses may be taken at CT2 or CT4 to student choice.
The 60 ECTS credits that form the course programme are divided between the first semester, with 30 ECTS credits in compulsory core subjects, and a second semester offering specialisation with 18 ECTS credits in optional subjects.
There are five compulsory subjects, each worth 6 ECTS credits, and these form the fundamental basis of the course. Students choose their optional courses from a total of ten subjects each worth 3 ECTS credits, plus 6 optional Work Experience credits. Students can therefore shape their own curriculum.
To complete the course programme, students must take the 12 ECTS credits corresponding to the compulsory Final Master’s Project, which enables a global assessment to be made of the skills acquired on the course.
Theoretical and practical teaching in all subjects will be in Spanish, although seminars may occasionally be given in English by foreign visiting lecturers; attendance at these is optional.
According to the Regulations of the University of Alicante, the following requirements must be complied to have access to official taught Master’s degrees:
- Non- recognised degree certificates shall require a technical report showing an equivalence statement issued by the University of Alicante (ContinUA – Continuing Education Centre), for which the corresponding fee should be paid.
- Access through this way does under no circumstances imply prior official approval of the holder’s degree certificate, nor its recognition for purposes other than studying a master's degree.
1.- Admission profile
Article 16 of Royal Decree 1393/2007 establishes that holders of university degrees (that is, holders of current university degrees and graduates of degree courses which have been adapted to conform with the European Space for Higher Education(ESHE) are eligible for admittance to Master’s Degrees. Due to the limited number of places offered, preference criteria will assess applicant profiles in order to identify those students seeking to develop a research career in robotics and automation. Consequently, preference criteria will include the prequisite that applicants already possess certain specific skills.
Accordingly, suitable applicants will hold a 4 or 5-year degree in Computer Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Telecommunications Engineering or related areas, preferably including specific training in the field of robotics, automation and control theory, and will be seeking to extend or complement their training, or to undertake doctoral studies.
2. Assessment criteria
Preferably, students should possess the following aptitudes and abilities:
As regards general admission criteria, priority will be given to the intellectual capacity of applicants in terms of the specific knowledge they possess. The decision to admit or reject each application will be made by an admissions and student monitoring committee, convened for this specific purpose. Admission will be subject to personalised assessment and guidance. This assessment will be based on each applicant’s academic achievement record, considering the applicant’s curriculum vitae, training related to the Master’s Degree and ability to successfully complete the different course components.
Complementary admission criteria will include a consideration of the academic record, research assistant grants, other activities undertaken in the area of specialisation, and any other achievements presented. Throughout the Master’s Degree, students will be assigned a tutor who will monitor their training. The tutor will prepare a personalised study plan according to each student’s educational background and training aims. In addition, the tutor will monitor each student’s educational progress and will suggest the course of action to take in the case of difficulties arising regarding subject matter, access to course materials, or other problems which may occur during the learning process.
PRE-ENROLMENT +info
Students who intend to study for an officially recognised Master’s Degree at the UA should complete pre-enrolment in accordance with the guidelines and deadlines specified annually.
ENROLMENT +info
Following publication of the final list of those admitted to the course, an email containing a user password will be sent to successful applicants, enabling them to enrol via the Campus Virtual in accordance with the guidelines and deadlines specified annually.
In the registration process, the documents issued abroad must be official, duly notorised and translated. Further information:

Academic and research.
The degree course provides an introduction to Automation and Robotics Research, as well as other closely related fields, such as:
Although this is not a Master’s degree aimed exclusively at the professional world, the training that it provides equips graduates for professional occupations with a multidisciplinary environmental component.

1st year |
The first and only Master’s degree course in Automation and Robotics will be implemented during the 2010-2011 academic year. This course is the result of the restructured Inter-university Doctorate in Automation and Robotics, taught jointly by the University of Alicante and the Miguel Hernández University of Elche.
