Bachelor's Degree in Interactive Technologies

Interactive technologies are technological systems that interact with the five senses of human beings and their environment (nature, home, city, work...). They consist of the set of hardware technologies and software applications necessary for this interactivity to occur. Some examples are video games, home automation, augmented reality environments, smart cities applications or the internet of things (IoT).

The objective of this degree is to train professionals with the skills and practical knowledge to "create, design, develop and operate" systems and interactive applications in different areas such as health, tourism, education, the entertainment industry, environmental sustainability or disability assistance.

This is achieved through project-based learning. Throughout the degree, and from the first year, biannual projects will be carried out on:

Starting from a real problem, the ways to solve it are analysed and a solution is sought. This experience in projects will be highly valued by their future employers.

To take this degree, you will be required to work in projects and must also be willing to join a team of fellow students to develop a technological product with market perspective. Having good analytical skills to solve problems and, above all, to be creative, will be an asset. It is also important to have solid mathematics and physics skills, as well as a basic knowledge of English and IT.

Upon completion of the degree you will have learned to create market products based on interactive technologies and to work as a team, just like in companies, which will enable you to acquire and develop ample knowledge and a wide array of skills to integrate into the professional world.

You will receive training in, among others: image and sound processing, design of graphic interfaces and scenarios (virtual and augmented reality), programming (games, computer, web, mobile and tablet), and devices and sensors for the capture, transfer, processing and presentation of data (for example: smart glasses, wearables).

Interactive technologies represent an emerging market and are used in virtually all areas of our society. Therefore, students can work both in companies that develop interactive products and in those that consume them. Among others, the following industrial sectors offer professional opportunities: entertainment and tourism; culture and education (development of multimedia applications for teaching or cultural purposes); digital content; home automation; monitoring of the terrestrial, marine and urban environment, and health and quality of life (monitoring of physiological parameters for applications to improve quality of life).

In addition, entrepreneurial students, thanks to the technological and business knowledge taught in the degree, may start their own technological start-up.

The School has signed numerous paid internship agreements with companies in the technology and audiovisual sector. International agreements enable international internships. In general, internships offer great opportunities: to obtain professional experience before completing the degree, to obtain optional credits, or to carry out, in the same company, the final degree project.

The School encourages the mobility of its students, for which it has in place a large number of exchange agreements with universities throughout Europe and also from Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, the United States, Japan, Mexico, etc.

Students may also take any UPV university master's degree by taking the appropriate levelling courses. Furthermore, there are several master's degrees both in Spain and in other countries that delve into the different topics developed in the projects of this degree: video games, internet of things, artificial intelligence, augmented reality, mobile applications and robotics.
