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.

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.”
