21 March 2022 – Alstom, global leader in smart and green mobility, is launching a new master’s degree in Railway Engineering with The Carlos III University of Madrid (uc3m), for the next academic year, which will be available to engineers in the fields of industrial, telecommunications and computer science.
This master’s degree aims to develop the academic offer available in the field of railway engineering, a growing sector with a high demand for qualified and skilled professionals. "This industry will be one of the most dynamic in the next decade, offering new professional opportunities in the STEM field. Alstom in Spain currently has more than 250 positions to be covered this year, most of them for specialised technicians and engineers. The Alstom Group expects to recruit more than 7,500 new professionals worldwide in the coming year. The sector needs talent and it is our responsibility to promote and support this industry," says Stéphanie Burik, Alstom in Spain Talent Management Director.

The academic programme covers railway systems engineering from a multidisciplinary and comprehensive approach, which includes the design and development of digital safety and control systems (railway signalling), electric traction, rolling stock design, as well as services and maintenance of the systems. After completing the master’s degree, students will be able to plan, evaluate, design and develop systems in the railway sector, as well as to include safety criteria in all types of design.
Methodology combines theory and practice, providing students with virtual and experimental tools, taking also into account the importance of applying the technical standards and legislation that regulate the railway sector. The course also includes practical training and visits to different rolling stock, components and systems manufacturing facilities, as well as railway operators’ sites.
Professors from the university, active professionals from Alstom in Spain and other railway experts will form the teaching staff for this master’s degree. Admission process has already begun and will remain open until all 30 places available are filled.
