BSc on Computer Engineering

The degree in Computer Engineering from the University of Murcia is organized according to the following basic structure:

Type of Courses	ECTS Credits
BASIC	60
MANDATORY	120
ELECTIVE	48
DEGREE PROJECT	12
TOTAL	240

All the modules have 6 credits except for the Degree Project, which is assigned 12 ECTS and industrial placements, which are assigned 6 ECTS.

These subjects are in the areas of knowledge of Computing, Mathematics, Physics, Statistics and Management, which facilitates student mobility to other related degrees and provides the students the basic knowledge from the beginning of their studies.

The 29 basic and mandatory subjects (174 ECTS) that compose the title are organized as follows: first and second have 10 subjects each, and and the remaining 9 are taught in the third year year. In the third year there are two elective courses.

The fourth course is completed by an elective specialization of 48 ECTS (8 subjects) and the Degree Project 12 ECTS credits.

Finally, students can add to his cvs other university activities: cultural, sports, solidarity and cooperation, and student representation. The Policy for the Recognition of Credits for Academic Activities includes those activities by which they can recognize participation credit to students. The total number of credits that can be recognized to each student is 6 ECTS.
