    COURSE CONTENT

    This is a one year Master's degree divided into two terms of 60 ECTS credits each. To successfully pass this course, students must take the necessary subjects to complete a total of 48 credits as well as the Master's Thesis (another 12 credits). The programme is divided in 42 ECTS credits of compulsory subjects and 6 ECTS credits to be chosen among the optional subjects.

    The first term focuses on the basic modules: a foundation module and a methodological module, both of them consisting of two subjects of 4.5 credits each, which must be fully completed by the students (18 ECTS). In addition, they must complete another 6 credits which correspond to the internship period. The second term focuses on specific technologies, and consists of 18 credits of compulsory subjects and 6 credits to be chosen by the student among the five subjects offered.

    Internationalization and Companies

    En el Máster Universitario en Ingeniería Energética pueden realizarse prácticas en empresa de carácter extracurricular, es decir, que no forman parte del plan de estudios y se realizan de forma voluntaria por el estudiante durante su formación. Habitualmente estas prácticas comprenden la realización del Trabajo Fin de Máster. Serán tuteladas por dos tutores: uno académico, profesor de la Universidad de Oviedo, y un tutor por parte de la empresa, entidad u organismo.

    Dado su carácter formativo, la realización de estas prácticas no supondrá, en ningún caso, relación laboral ni contractual, ni vinculación de otro tipo, entre el estudiante y la empresa o entidad en la que se desarrollen las prácticas. Las empresas o instituciones podrán prever la aportación de una cantidad en concepto de bolsa o ayuda al estudio, que no tendrá la consideración de salario o retribución.

    Las ofertas de prácticas en empresa se publicarán en el Campus Virtual del Máster, junto con los procedimientos de solicitud y tramitación.
