Materials Engineering

Program Overview

This program focuses on the study, development and application of materials across multiple industries. Students learn about the properties, processing and applications of metals, ceramics, polymers and composite materials. The curriculum combines fundamental science with engineering principles to prepare graduates for careers in manufacturing, research and development, and quality control. How competitive: Catalan universities rank applicants on an admission mark out of 14, and in June 2026 the last place in the first allocation went at 8.500. With UNEDasiss accreditation an IB Diploma counts as your average subject grade plus 3 (a 6 in every subject gives 9), so 8.500 took about 33 points from the six subjects. UNEDasiss's specific competence tests (PCE) add up to 2 points each (the best two count) in subjects this degree weights at 0.2 (Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry or Technology and Engineering).
