· Manage and control processes and projects for industrial technologies, automation and robotics in manufacturing, in interdisciplinary environments.
· Propose solutions for industrial technologies and automation, technically and economically competitive.
· Design, coordinate and execute projects for industrial technologies and automation.
· Develop R&D projects.
· Have an entrepreneurial spirit, be able to identify ideas and opportunities and understand the challenges of undertaking new technological projects.
· Have the capacity for critical analysis and leadership.
· Know how to work in a team and communicate effectively in a professional and academic environment.
Curriculum
The duration of the master's degree is 2 academic years (4 semesters) with a total of 120 ECTS. The Syllabus involves complementary courses in the scientific areas of Engineering and Industrial Management (40%), Mechanical Engineering (30%), Electrical and Computer Engineering (18%) and Computer Science (12%).
In the 1st and 2nd semesters there are 12 compulsory courses and 1 optional course, in a total of 60 ECTS. In this first academic year, the curricular component takes place in person on the NOVA SST campus.
In the 3rd semester, there are 5 courses and an industrial project to be developed in a company, totaling 30 ECTS. This semester will have a module configuration, in which part of the semester will take place in an industrial environment.
In the 4th semester, students can choose between a scientific dissertation or an industrial project, totaling 30 ECTS, to be developed in a research center or business environment.
The Master will be taught in English.
Tuition fees
National students: 3500 Euros/year
International students: 7000 Euros/year
Students enrolled in the master's degree will have access to an innovative learning environment and a network of business contacts, which can significantly help build their professional careers and eventually enjoy scholarships funded by the master's program's partner companies. However, the number of scholarships is limited, and the ranking will be based on merit criteria defined by the course's Scientific Committee.
The following merit awards have been defined for the academic year 2023/2024:
1st and 2nd place in the ranking of selected students: a scholarship that enables tuition fees to be reduced to 1000 euros;
3rd, 4th, and 5th place in the ranking of selected students: a scholarship that enables tuition fees to be reduced to 1250 euros;
6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th place in the ranking of selected students: a scholarship that enables tuition fees to be reduced to 2000 euros.
In addition to the scholarships, we also offer all students in this master's program financial support for travel to companies during internships in the 3rd and 4th semesters of the course.
The merit award will be paid at the end of each academic year, subject to the fulfilment of two conditions:
1) Approval in all the academic subjects of the year;
2) Full payment of the tuition fees for the academic year.
Accepted applicants will have to pay (within a maximum of 7 consecutive days from the date of placement) a non-refundable rate of 100 euros, which will be deducted, after registration, from the total tuition fee. Any payment made after the deadline will not be refunded, leaving the candidate excluded.
