FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Because at UDIT we offer a unique and successful methodology. This methodology is built on a vocation for creativity, innovative and up-to-date study plans, the integration of technology and innovation as a guiding thread, project-based learning grounded in real briefs, and critical thinking fostered by our academic staff.

    The market currently demands professionals capable of leading technology and robotics projects in areas such as logistics, agriculture, transport, automotive, aeronautics, services and healthcare.

    This official degree sits at the intersection of robotics, programming, artificial intelligence, user experience and design. It is a pioneering degree within Spanish higher education, as it focuses on Human-Centred Robotics. With an innovative and up-to-date study plan, it takes as a reference Anglophone research and programmes in Human-Centred Robotics.

  • Robotics engineering is a discipline that brings together knowledge and technological advances from other engineering fields—such as mechanical engineering, electronics, computer science, telecommunications and industrial engineering—through which engineers design, develop and operate robots for a range of purposes.

    Service robotics is a discipline that focuses the development of robotic applications and devices on the end user and their interaction with them.

  • You will use several programming languages, including C++, C#, Python and Java (JDK/JRE), together with their most widely used libraries.

    You will learn to use leading development environments such as Express.js, Visual Studio, TensorFlow, Anaconda, NLTK, Apache and Eclipse.

    You will work with software development tools such as SQL Server, MongoDB, OpenCV and Tableau.

    Visualisation and prototyping tools: Autodesk Fusion 360, AutoCAD, Proteus, LTspice, Figma, Adobe Creative Cloud, KiCad, RobotStudio and Gazebo Simulator.

  • The International Federation of Robotics (IFR) defines service robotics as “a robot or equipment for personal or professional use that performs useful tasks for humans, excluding industrial automation applications”.

    The key difference from industrial robotics lies in the intended application. Industrial robotics refers to robots used in industrial automation; they are typically large, have similar functionalities, and perform repetitive tasks.

    By contrast, service robots tend to be smaller and more mobile, and their capabilities vary depending on the end application.

  • If you want to study the Degree in Robotics, you can do so without having completed a specific Bachillerato pathway; you must meet the entry requirements set out in Article 3 of Royal Decree 412/2014. That said, the recommended entry profile is a student with a strong affinity for technology, solid performance in mathematics, and a clear interest in problem-solving.

    Ideally, you should have completed the Science and Technology Baccalaureate, with particular focus on Mathematics and, where possible, subjects related to computing, programming and technology more broadly.

  • The first step is to request information. You can do this via the website, by phone on +34 91 555 25 28, or by email at orientacion.universitaria@udit.es.

    The next step is to take a placement test. Its purpose is to assess the student’s academic competencies and identify any support needs before the start of the academic year.

    Once the test has been completed and admission to UDIT has been confirmed, you should pay the enrolment reservation fee to secure your place for the next academic year. Places are allocated strictly in order of reservation.

  • Yes. All Bachelor’s degrees offered at UDIT are official and internationally recognised.

    Be cautious with other programmes marketed as “official Bachelor’s degrees” that, in reality, are not.

    To verify whether a degree is official, you should consult the RUCT (Register of Universities, Centres and Qualifications) website, or another official body under the Ministry of Universities responsible for academic regulation and the official status of university degrees.

  • If you are coming from the Spanish education system, to study this degree at UDIT you must meet at least one of the following requirements:

    • Have passed the University Entrance Examination (EVAU) with a pass grade.
    • Applicants who have completed a Higher Vocational Training qualification (Ciclo Formativo de Grado Superior) or FP II.
    • Applicants entering with completed Spanish university studies.
    • Applicants entering via the university entrance examinations for mature students (over 25, over 40 and over 45).

    Applicants from education systems outside Spain:

    • Applicants from pre-university education systems in EU Member States and countries with reciprocity agreements.
    • Applicants who hold the International Baccalaureate Diploma.
    • Applicants from other international pre-university education systems.
    • Applicants with international university studies who enter through official recognition (homologation) of their studies.
    • Applicants with official international university studies, completed or incomplete, who enter through official credit recognition/transfer.
  • All of our Bachelor’s degrees start from scratch, so you do not need to have followed a specific Bachillerato pathway.

    Given the nature of our programmes, it is generally recommended to have completed the Science and Technology Bachillerato, with particular focus on Mathematics and, where possible, subjects related to computing, programming and technology more broadly.

    Although it is not essential, previous programming experience and involvement in personal software development projects are a significant added value.

  • Upon completing the Degree in Human-Centred Robotics, you will be able to work in roles such as:

    • Robotic systems developer for a range of industrial sectors
    • Applications programmer for robotic systems
    • User interface developer for human–machine interaction
    • Automated production line maintenance technician
    • Developer of AIoT electronic solutions based on embedded systems
  • UDIT does not require a minimum entry grade to access the Degree in Human-Centred Robotics. However, given the specific nature of the programme, prospective students must complete UDIT’s own admission tests.
