Requirements to study Mechatronics Engineering
If you are thinking of studying this kind of mechatronics-focussed engineering, you should firstly take a look at these statements and check that you identify with them:
Innovation
I am attracted to new trends and I like to experiment, propose improvements and develop new ideas and prototypes.
Assembly and repair
I like to know how things work, to assemble and disassemble gadgets, to fix devices, to tinker with things...
Team
I work well in multidisciplinary teams and have the ability to organise and lead groups.
Robotics and Automation
I am curious about the world of robots and programmable logic controllers in the industrial field and how they work.
Programming
I am good with computer tools and software and I like programming.
Future outlook and industry
I am curious about technological trends and the methods and processes used in different industrial sectors.
"Recognise yourself here? Then the Mechatronics Engineering degree is the ideal choice for you.."
There are two ways you can access this degree
After having completed Baccalaureate or Higher Level Vocational Training.
You have studied Baccalaureate
It is recommended that you have studied the Baccalaureate in Science and Technology. It is important that you have studied Physics and Mathematics, as well as Technical Drawing, Technology and Chemistry.
You have studied Higher Level Vocational Training
If you have an official Higher Vocational Training qualification from the families associated with mechatronics, you will be able to obtain the university degree in 3 years, as the second year of the degree will be validated.
Here you can see the Regulatory Framework of the credit recognition and transfer system.
The following vocational training families and qualifications are considered to be associated with mechatronics:
- Installation and Maintenance Family
- Industrial Mechatronics
- Electricity – Electronics Family
- Industrial Automation and Robotics
- Electrotechnical and automated systems
- Electronic maintenance
- Mechanical Manufacturing Family
- Mechanical manufacturing production programming
- Mechanical manufacturing design
- Metal constructions
50% of the new entry places offered will be reserved for people in possession of an official Higher Vocational Training qualification from the families and qualifications indicated above.
If you are thinking of studying the Mechatronics Engineering degree, you should carry out this process.

Linguistic requirements
The degree in Mechatronics Engineering is taught at three campuses (Mondragon, Bilbao AS Fabrik and ECO campus Galarreta (Orona Ideo)) and each campus follows its own linguistic model.
- AS Fabrik Bilbao Campus and EKO campus Galarreta(Orona Ideo): about 50% of the subjects are taught in Spanish and about 25% in English. The remaining 25% depends on the pathway chosen by the student. However, there is the option of taking the subjects of PHYSICS and MATHEMATICS in Basque (as long as there are enough students who request it).
- Arrasate-Mondragon Campus: around 40% of the subjects are taught in Basque, around 10% in Spanish and around 25% in English. The remaining 25% depends on the pathway chosen by the student.
It is desirable that before enrolling you have previously acquired the language skills corresponding to each campus:
ARRASATE CAMPUS
BILBAO AS FABRIK CAMPUS and GALARRETA (ORONA IDEO)
