Registration is now open for the fifth iteration of the University of Jaén’s master’s degree in advanced design of plastic parts and injection moulds, organised and directed with the collaboration of Andaltec (DVN recently wrote about Andaltec). This is one of the first master’s degrees in Spain specialised in this field.
The training activity is organised by the Department of Graphic Engineering, Design and Projects of the UJaén, while Andaltec contribute part of the teaching staff and facilitate internships in companies. It will be developed throughout the next academic year on Friday afternoons and Saturday mornings so that professionals can participate. Indeed, the training is mainly aimed at engineers, technicians, architects, and surveyors. Registration for this year’s session is open until 15 September, then enrolment will be formalised between the 16th and 19th.
The programme has a practical nature, so the classes will be taught in the CAD laboratories at the mould design and manufacturing company Moldes Tuccibérica, and at the facilities of the Technological Center of Plastic, both located in Martos . Students will have the possibility of doing internships with several companies in the plastic sector of the province of Jaén, such as Valeo, Tuccibérica Molds, Arte Martos, and Ofitemar.
Andaltec manager José María Navarro highlights the good results obtained in previous sessions: almost all the students have found work immediately. “This is one of the most advanced training activities that can be taken in Spain in this area, as it will train students in the use of advanced industrial design software,” he says. “These skills are in high demand by companies in the plastics sector, of which there is an important cluster in the province of Jaén”.
