The Bachelor’s Degree in Automobile Engineering is very closely related to the degree in Mechanical Engineering, but focussed more specifically on the car industry. However, the sector encompasses a range of sub-sectors and areas of activity that are sufficiently broad to justify a specific degree programme.
Graduates will obtain a very robust scientific foundation coupled with accurate analytical skills to solve multidisciplinary problems, while equipping them with decision-making ability and enhancing creativity and critical reasoning in the domain of automobile engineering.
Graduate engineers will have leadership and project management skills. They must also be able to handle specifications, regulations and mandatory laws and standards in the automobile industry, and analyse and assess the social and environmental impact of proposed solutions.
Graduates must organise and plan company structures. They are also provided with the scientific/technological fundamentals required for independent learning or for going on to postgraduate study to enable them to deepen their knowledge and/or specialise in various fields of engineering, particularly for admission to postgraduate study on automobiles and industrial activity.
Automobile Engineering graduates can also access the master's programme in Industrial Engineering, which involves admission to the professional body. [+info]

Skills having an instrumental role. Highlights include:
Individual skills consisting of the ability to express one's own feelings, and critical and self-critical skills. Social skills relating to interpersonal skills, ability to work in a team and expression of social and ethical commitments. These skills tend to support social interaction and cooperation processes. We highlight the following:
The skills and abilities that relate to systems as a whole. These skills include the ability to plan changes so that improvements can be made to systems as a whole, and to design new systems. Systemic or integrating skills require the prior acquisition of instrumental and interpersonal skills. The highlights include:
The Final Research Project tests that the student has acquired and integrated the general and specific skills imparted in the course of the degree programme.
The student's mastery of general skills is tested by being required to design and implement a sufficiently complex engineering project, focusing on innovation and with an emphasis on teamwork. Part of the workload may be devoted to the simulation and/or research work. When completing the project, the student must also acquire personal skills relating to searching and organising documentation, presentation, teamwork, etc.

On December 1, attendees at the Madrid-Princesa Campus were captivated as they strolled through the courtyard, encountering a remarkable sight that prompted amazement and photo-taking. The focal point was a gleaming racing car that stood out conspicuously. This was not just any racing car; it was the BMW M240i Racing from the Autoworks MotorSport team, which secured the championship title in the Iberian Supercars Endurance in 2023.
Los alumnos unen a su aprendizaje teórico más tradicional, la participación activa en proyectos profesionales reales, donde pueden poner en práctica lo aprendido.
Nebrija University is part of the Dakar Rally, the most demanding motor race in the world.
