| Other requirements | At least 2 reference(s) should be provided. Applicants must submit two (2) letters of recommendation to apply. Recommendations can come from either academic or professional sources. Applicants may choose from the following options to submit their recommendation letters: 1. Provide referee information: Enter the name and contact information (email) of each referee in the application system. IAAC will send an automated email to the referee to request their recommendation. 2. Upload letters directly: Applicants who already have their recommendation letters may upload them in the designated upload field. A motivation letter must be added to your application. Your letter of intent, or motivation statement should be written in English detailing your motivation and adequacy for the programme you are applying to. Tips: A relevant portfolio is required. A Portfolio showcasing samples of your work in English. Note: Specific requirements for Non-EU applicants: Non-EU citizens who plan to study in Spain for a period of more than three months must apply for an “open”, multiple-entry student visa. This type of visa (Visado de Estudios) is valid for entering the European Union’s Schengen Area for three months from the date of issue. Visa applications are processed by the Spanish consulate(s) in the country of residence of the applicant. We strongly encourage applicants from outside the EU to apply well in advance to allow for sufficient time to process their Spanish student visa.

Overview
The Master in Robotics and Advanced Construction (MRAC) focuses on the emerging design and market opportunities brought about by novel robotic and advanced manufacturing systems.
MRAC is engineered to cultivate a next-generation workforce of interdisciplinary experts, poised to revolutionise the construction industry by driving sustainability and efficiency in the built environment.
Leveraging a dynamic blend of immersive seminars, hands-on workshops, and cutting-edge studio projects, MRAC disrupts conventional construction paradigms. It explores how robotics and digital fabrication advancements are transforming how we build, developing innovative processes and tools for smart, adaptive construction.
Programme structure
During the programme, students will be part of a diverse international group of faculty members, researchers, and lecturers. Students will learn to develop collective decision-making processes and materialise their project ideas through a series of seminars, studios, and hands-on workshops. IAAC offers an experimental learning environment for the training of professionals with both theoretical and practical responses to the increasing complexity of the construction sector.
MRAC + 3DPA (Two-year)
In the MRAC + Postgraduate in 3D Printing Architecture (3DPA), students will build on their MRAC studies by deepening their expertise in robotic manufacturing, material research, and performance-based design, with a focus on cutting-edge additive manufacturing techniques.
The first year mirrors the structure of the MRAC programme, consisting of three terms, each three months long. The 3DPA takes place during the second year as a highly specialised six-month, intensive, programme focused on Advanced Additive Manufacturing.
