Description

Those interested in Electrical Engineering are headed for work in the management of electric power systems, installations and electric drives in the transmission and distribution of electrical energy, areas that need graduates with specific training in this sector. These graduates must also cover the emerging fields that have a growing impact on today's society, such as electric traction and wind and photovoltaic systems, areas that have expanded greatly and notably in our country in recent years and whose future growth is ever greater.

The electricity sector currently needs a large number of people with this degree, which means that graduates find a job within a year of graduating and that students from other specialities also end up working in the electricity sector.
