Frequently Asked Questions

When can I begin the MEM?

The MEM curriculum does not require students to complete courses in a specific order, so students can begin the MEM in the Winter or Spring term.

What is the schedule of the MEM?

Classes are taught in the mornings of weekdays. Depending on the election of elective courses, students will have to attend MEM courses 4 or 5 days per week. The average number of classroom hours per week is 16. The first semester begins the third week of September and finalizes at the end of January. The second semester begins in the third week of February and finalizes at the end of June.

No, the MEM program also accepts students with no previous work experience.

Does ESEIAAT provide internships to the students?

ESEIAAT has many resources available to help students secure an internship, but the final responsibility resides with the student to find their desired internship. Currently, ESEIAAT has agreements with more than a hundred companies.

Does ESEIAAT provide mobilities to the students?

ESEIAAT participates in various mobility programs (e.g., ERASMUS), so students can do part of the Master in another university. Due to the length of the degree program (1.5 years or 3 semesters), students can only do the mobility in the second year (3rd semester) to carry on the Master Thesis.

What kind of resources do I need to enroll in the MEM?

You don't need any specific resources to study in the MEM. However, there are many courses where students develop activities and projects in the classroom. For this reason, we recommend bringing a laptop to class. Depending on the course and the session, professors will ask you to bring your own laptop or just one per group. Professors will tell you what you need to bring in each session. The university library can lend laptops if necessary.

How is the qualification system of the courses?

The final grade of the courses depends on the following assessment items:

• Project, weight 40%
• Final exam or test, weight 30%
• Classroom and/or online activities, weight 30%
