The proposed programme complies with Order CIN/311/2009 of 9th February 2009 that sets out the requirements to verify official university degrees authorising holders to work as industrial engineers. The Master's Degree in Industrial Engineering aims to further develop the skills acquired on undergraduate programmes within the same field, striving to provide the advanced multidisciplinary training required to work as an industrial engineer. Industrial engineering plays an essential role across much of Spanish industry. In this sense, graduates are very likely to become leading figures at both SMEs and large corporations, and hold prominent positions at national level. Moreover, graduates can also make substantial contributions to industry overseas.
Therefore, the skills acquired by industrial engineering graduates enable them to work as engineers, entrepreneurs, managers, advisors/consultants, and scientific and technical researchers.
The UIB and the Official Industrial Engineering Association in the Balearics (COEIB) have signed a collaboration agreement. The COEIB awards prizes to the best master's theses, allows its facilities to be used for viva voces, and provides funding for theses and improved resources on the master's programme.
In turn, the COEIB plays a key role in highlighting the importance of industrial engineering for society and defending the interests of graduates. More information is available on its website: https://www.coeib.com/.

High-quality official study
Legislation requires that official Spanish degree programmes receive a positive assessment from the National Agency for Quality Assessment and Accreditation (ANECA, by its Spanish acronym). This process is known as verification, and it serves to ensure that education programmes are properly designed to provide the competencies and reach the learning goals around which the programmes are built. In the results you can find reports on official study programmes.
The European Higher Education Area requires that there be a system in place to ensure the quality of degree programmes .
The Master's programme is subject to constant assessment and improvement processes that guarantee that it maintains a certain level of prestige and renown in Europe. You can see the results of the assessment processes in the section on quality .
