Basic Information

What knowledge will I acquire with this Degree?

The Degree in Industrial Organization Engineering enables the graduate to carry out management and leadership activities, not only in production and service companies, but also in institutions of various kinds, both public and private (public administration, university, NGOs, consultancies, etc. ), in areas directly linked to production and operations: quality, purchasing, commercial, logistics, production, processes, finance, maintenance, innovation management, project management, human resources, etc. The combination of their technological and management training allows industrial organization engineers to occupy positions ranging from human resource management to the management of R&D&I departments, passing through the management and optimization of production processes and quality.

Where will I be able to work when I graduate?

Among the main professional profiles that can be associated with the Degree in Industrial Organization Engineering are:

  • operations management
  • Project management
  • Business Management
  • Innovation Management
  • Consulting and knowledge management

Is this Degree official according to the regulations required by the European Higher Education Area?

Yes (final verification report is attached), the implementation of the degree will be done progressively, starting the first year in the academic year 2011-12.
The final verification report turned out FAVORABLE

Favorable report first modification

Favorable report second modification

Favorable report third modification

Favorable report fourth modification

What subject areas will I address in this grade?

On the other hand, the subjects and subjects can be structured in modules, according to the contents and objectives to be achieved with these subjects and that have been considered essential to obtain the Bachelor's degree in Industrial Organization Engineering from the Rey Juan Carlos University. The temporary location of the materials and subjects has been proposed so that students can achieve their training in a staggered manner. The contents have the number of credits necessary to achieve the intended skills and, in addition, they are adapted to current regulations so that the required effort is feasible for most students.

The subjects and subjects are grouped into different thematic modules:

  • 1. Module of basic training subjects.
  • 2. Module of subjects common to the industrial branch.
  • 3. Module of Industrial Organization Engineering subjects.
  • 4. Transversal training module.
  • 5. Intensification module
  • 6. Module of external internships.
  • 7. Final Degree Project Module.

Recommended Income Profile

Although there is no recommended entry profile and no restrictions are placed beyond those established by law (PAU), and also given the multidisciplinary nature of the Degree in Industrial Organization Engineering, it is complex to design a specific and ideal entry profile. In any case, it would be appropriate for the people who are going to start the studies leading to obtaining this degree to possess in their training certain academic characteristics that should be acquired in high school or equivalent studies, such as knowledge related to sciences such as mathematics (in addition to physics and chemistry) and manage engineering concepts that in some way allow a greater adaptation to the contents that will later be developed in the degree.

In terms of personal characteristics and specifically in relation to the interests that people who start this degree may have, it seems evident that the profile of manager, manager, or director of a company would adequately define said interests.

Linking with the above, it would be advisable for the student to have initiative and an entrepreneurial spirit, as well as a certain ability to direct or lead, knowing at the same time to develop social relationships that allow teamwork, and in that sense to have a dose of receptivity. Likewise, a certain degree of responsibility is required, being necessary that the student is aware that the daily work is what will allow him to achieve the objectives and that the level of effort will be what marks the level of his results.

External Internships

The External Practices subject is a curricular subject whose main objective is to promote a comprehensive training of the student through the practical application of the knowledge acquired during the Degree, which facilitates direct contact with the professional activity and the opportunity to join the professional world with a minimum of experience. All practices are designed so that the students who participate in them acquire professional experience in real situations and conditions, applying the knowledge, skills and attitudes that are acquired in the training processes throughout the degree. The internships represent a decisive opportunity for the personal development and professional future of the students.

Internships are activities carried out by the student in companies, institutions and organizations; that is, in centers outside the university premises, which aim to enrich and complement your university education, while providing you with a deeper knowledge about the skills you will need once you have graduated.

The External Practices subject will consist of two phases:

  • Completion of the internship period that offers professional experience related to any of the graduate profiles that are expressed in the Verification Report of the degree.
  • Elaboration of the memory

Mobility programs

ERASMUS

The Erasmus program makes it easy for URJC students -both undergraduate and postgraduate- to study one or several semesters at one of the European universities with which the URJC has agreements.

These exchanges traditionally have an economic endowment thanks to the Erasmus Scholarships provided by the EU and the Spanish Ministry of Education.

ERASMUS (intranet)


WORLD

The Munde program manages mobility with universities from countries not included in the Erasmus Program.

The possibility of obtaining a scholarship or economic endowment and its amount depends, in each case, on the agreements with the universities, countries or entities that sign it.

Improvement actions

The Quality Assurance System of the Rey Juan Carlos University establishes that the degree's Quality Assurance Commission will annually analyze the information derived from the degree's indicators and prepare a report that will include improvement plans if the results so indicate.

Renewal of accreditation

The renewal of the accreditation represents the culmination of the implementation process of the official Bachelor's and Master's degrees registered in the Register of Universities, Centers and Degrees (RUCT). The renewal of the accreditation of official bachelor's and master's degrees is organized in three phases: self-assessment report, external visit and final assessment.

In the first phase, the university describes and assesses the status of the degree with respect to the established criteria and guidelines. The result is the Self-Assessment Report (IA) that is presented. The second and third phases are carried out by a group of evaluators external to the evaluated title.”
