Internships
You will have the opportunity to carry out professional internships in the many private and public companies with which the School has signed agreements. Our experience is that most of the students opt for this possibility and that they are usually quite satisfied with the experience, both students and companies.
Research and access to Ph.
You will be able to apply to the Doctoral Program in Industrial Engineering and Production.
Where you will be able to propose a research project focused on the development of a proposal in one of the areas developed in the degree.
Academic exchange / agreements with other universities
You will be able to spend a semester in one of the universities with which we have a relationship and with which the School has signed academic exchange agreements. If you choose this option, the most practical way to do it in this master’s degree is during the period of the Master’s Thesis.
Facilities and laboratories
The degree has classrooms prepared for the academic training of students in its two specialties, as well as laboratories with specific software for the development of the practical field.
All of this is located in the Technical School of Industrial Engineering, as well as in the departments of Business Organization and Transportation and Terrain Engineering.
Master’s Thesis
Application:
The professors of the master’s degree will make TFM proposals that can be viewed through PoliformaT by all students who are enrolled.
Students should contact the teachers responsible for the assignments to show interest in the assignment, which will be done by the teacher through the EBRON application. It is especially important that the teacher assigns the student at the time of the creation of the assignment in EBRON.
Those professors who teach or have taught in the master’s degree in the last two years or professors attached to the ETSII can direct TFM as main tutors of the work.
New Master’s theses may be proposed throughout the academic year and until the end of May. The proposal is studied by the Academic Committee of the Degree.
Evaluation:
The evaluation of the Master’s thesis will take place after the presentation of the thesis before a tribunal formed by three professors of the ETSII, the tribunals are rotating, therefore the composition of the same will not be known until the day of the defense.
The procedure to be followed will be as follows:
- The student, through the application that can be found on the UPV Intranet. Virtual Secretary’s Office, request the defense of the TFM (it is essential to have passed all the credits, that the grades are uploaded in the transcript and that there is an open call).
- At that moment, and if all the documentation is correct, the tutor will receive an email to fill out a report of the TFM (confidential), in which he/she can propose a grade for it.
- When the defense application period closes, the ETSII will assign the student a defense time for his/her TFM. This will be notified via email to the tutor and student.
- The student will appear on the assigned date and time (15 minutes in advance) to make the defense, after which he/she will be notified of the grade obtained.
Collaborating companies and more
The degree collaborates with different companies in the industrial and logistics services sector that participate in different activities of the master’s degree, such as lectures, company visits, student internships, etc.
This contact with the business reality within the academic activity has always been highly appreciated by the students of the degree, so it is considered a great asset.
