Mathematical Engineering is a branch of engineering that uses applied mathematics and statistical tools to make decisions, make predictions and automate processes.

Mathematical engineering makes it possible to reduce the gap that currently exists between traditional STEM (Physics, Mathematics, etc.) and engineering, training professionals who add value to companies by creating and optimising processes and reducing costs.

Can you imagine combining mathematics and technology, studying, proposing and controlling traffic management, home automation or manufacturing systems, among others? If you study the Bachelor's Degree in Mathematical Engineering, you will be able to become a professional capable of doing this and much more.

Why study a Degree in Mathematical Engineering? 

The market currently demands professionals capable of optimising processes and making decisions based on data that respond to the needs of companies and users. This degree is aimed at those of you who want to drive innovation and growth through the intelligent use of data. 

This engineering degree relies heavily on computing disciplines to take advantage of the computing power of today's computers to solve problems using numerical methods and the simulation of increasingly complex processes.

It is one of the professions with the highest employability rate after the first year of obtaining the degree, with an ever-increasing demand from companies.

What career opportunities does the Bachelor's Degree in Mathematical Engineering offer?

This degree combines theoretical knowledge of mathematics with its practical application in various fields, such as engineering, computing, consultancy, finance, biomedicine and artificial intelligence.

The Bachelor's Degree in Mathematical Engineering will give you the opportunityto learn mathematics from a practical perspective focused on current industrial processes and problem solving.

You will be able to work in areas such as :

  • Computing.
  • Computer science and software development.
  • Consultancy.
  • Market research and risk analysis.
  • Banking and finance. Defence.
  • Scientific research.
  • University teaching.
  • Artificial Intelligence.
  • Sociological research.

Where can I study Mathematical Engineering?

At UDIT, University of Design, Innovation and Technology, we are committed to the future, training experts with a deep and rigorous vision of technology and science. Located in the Chamartín district of Madrid, we build the profiles most in demand by technology companies with two differential values, you will learn from the perspective of innovation and creativity, two of the principles of this university.

During the four years of your degree you will acquire extensive mathematical knowledge and programming fundamentals to apply mathematical principles to real situations and analyse data with the aim of extracting all the information, comparing them and predicting future behaviour. In addition, you will be able to complete your profile with a certification in Microsoft Azure AI Fundamentals, achieving the first level in the path generated by Microsoft for artificial intelligence engineers.
