STRUCTURE OF THE STUDY PLAN

SUBJECT TYPES. In accordance with current legislation (R.D. 1407187), study plans have three types of subject for the student to study:

  1. Core subjects: These subjects constitute the main block of the degree course and the minimum common content in all universities and lead to obtaining a specific official university degree that is valid in the entire country. The study load in credits for the set of core subjects makes up a minimum of 30% of the total credits in the first cycle and 25% in the second cycle.
  2. NON core subjects: Educational content determined at the discretion of each university in its study plans. These subjects can in turn be of two types:
    1. Compulsory: The University determines what is compulsory for the student to study to obtain the degree. They complement the core subjects as regards basic education that the student receives.
    2. Optional: The student can choose from among the optional subjects those he or she wishes to study in accordance with his or her curricular requirements. Nevertheless, to obtain a mention of the specialty on the degree it may be necessary to study for a specific number of credits of optional subjects related to the specialty.
  3. Elective subjets: Each university must include at least 10% elective credits in the study load of each student. The student can choose among these, or other optional subjects in the university itself or any other with which it has an agreement.

CREDITS. The UCLM credits are based on the number of face to face teaching hours that the student receives, including laboratory practicals, seminars, problem classes, mid-term exams, etc. A UCLM credit is equivalent to 10 hours of teaching. Semesters are 15 weeks long. A subject of 6 UCLM credits is equivalent to 4 hours teaching a week for a four month term, including laboratory practicals, seminars, problem classes, mid-term exams, etc. Given that the average number of total UCLM credits that the student receives per semester is 37.5, the face to face teaching received by the student must be 5 hours daily, 5 days a week.

The structure of the Industrial Engineering Study Plan is:

Course Cores Compulsories Optionals Elective Subjets F.P.(*) Total
First 69.0 - - 6.0 - 75.0
Second 43.5 25.5 - 6.0 - 75.0
Third 24.0 19.5 30.0 1.5 - 75.0
Fourth 51.0 - 12.0 12.0 - 75.0
Fifth 34.5 - 24.0 12.0 4.5 75.0
TOTAL 222.0 45.0 66.0 37.5 4.5 375.0

Note: The breakdown of credits is approximate, as the optional and elective credits can be studied in any academic year.

(*) 4.5 credits are assigned to the Final Project as an estimate of the required number of supervised hours. Nevertheless, the work by the student is usually greater than that of a typical subject of 4.5 credits, as it involves the application of concepts learned throughout the entire course. This assignment is due, among other reasons, to tuition fees being based on credits.
