Design

Computer Engineering in Information Technologies is structured into four 60-ECTS credit academic years, and comprised of 240 credits in all.

In the first year, students are presented with the general knowledge base necessary for engineering. During these first two semesters, they consolidate the mathematical, physical, and computer, and business fundamentals common to almost all kinds of undergraduate engineering programs.

Common computer training occurs in the second year and one-half of fall semester during the third.

IT-specific courses are given during the remainder of the third year and fall semester of the fourth.

During spring semester of the fourth year, the program's Transversal and Professional Competencies are addressed. These enable students to design the final portion of their curriculum and enhance the competencies acquired, choosing between:
- The diverse elective courses offered.
- Internships at businesses and institutions that have agreements with the UMH.
- Accreditation for foreign language skills.
- Participation in workshops that are part of a UMH Continuing Education course, free of charge for students, in the UMH's University Expert in Skills and Professional Competencies.
- Activities the student carries out at other universities, both European and/or beyond, within academic exchange programs for official degree programs.
- Participation in university cultural, sporting, student body, humanitarian, and cooperation activities.

Finally, the student must complete the Final Degree Project. This consists of an IT engineering project that is professional in nature and synthesizes the competencies acquired throughout their education.
The program's electives are indicated in the Courses section, and are part of the Transversal and Professional Competencies Module. This module can be completed either by taking these electives or by recognition for a series of activities such as in-house and external internships, language skills, taking UMH Continuing Education courses, professional work experience, attending University workshops and conferences, etc. For complete information regarding this recognition, click on the following link: http://estudios.umh.es/reconocimiento-creditos/grados/.
