Mathematics Course

This course is offered to those who wish to improve their Mathematics level prior to the Engineering degree.

Admission

These engineering studies combine study and work. In this sense, based on the 15 years of experience of teaching Dual engineering studies and as permitted by the second additional provision of RD 1892/2008 which regulates the conditions for access to official university degree courses and according to which "universities may establish special conditions or tests for access to certain courses", these are included in this report of the verified and authorized study plan.
