Bachelor's degree in
Automotive Engineering
How is a vehicle designed? How is it built? How is the whole process managed?
Come and learn all of these things with us, not just at the theoretical level but with the companies that work on them.
The bachelor’s degree in Automotive Engineering responds to the automotive industry’s demand for engineers with very specific knowledge, who have mastered the product—the automobile and its components—and the process, that is, the manufacturing process and its management. The aim is to produce specialised engineers who have a comprehensive view of the automotive industry and its entire value chain.
The automotive engineering sector is one of the most globalised and competitive sectors and it continuously incorporates innovations and technical improvements in aspects such as safety, energy efficiency and environmental protection. It has a strong tradition in Catalonia and has become a strategic economic sector.
Great demand
A demand for 100 engineers per year up to 2030 is foreseen in the automotive sector.
Support
The bachelor's degree has the support of the Automotive Industry Cluster of Catalonia.
Academic itinerary
It provides direct admission to the master's degree in Automotive Engineering at the ETSEIB.
