Why study at the ETSETB

Discover the reasons that make us the best telecommunications school in the country according to the rankings.

We are the first telecommunications engineering school in Catalonia

The ETSETB (Telecos BCN) is the most experienced telecommunications school in Catalonia. Over 95% of the telecommunications engineers in Catalonia have graduated from our school.

 

The ETSETB team is composed of professionals who work every day to maintain and improve the level of quality that has characterised us for over 50 years.

This team consists of 312 people dedicated to teaching and research, and 42 people dedicated to the administration of the School and its services. This allows the School to be well positioned in various national and international university rankings.

 

We prepare the leaders of the future

We provide the appropriate guidelines for continuous training so that our students can work in a globalised society with ethical responsibility, solidarity and a commitment to the environment.

 

Our graduates have one of the lowest unemployment rates

Telecommunications degrees provide access to the most in-demand professions and therefore have one of the lowest unemployment rates. Engineers from the UPC are highly valued on the job market. (See the La Vanguardia article.)

 

Our students' mobility is one of the highest within the UPC

The ETSETB has established different agreements and collaborations with schools and companies at both national and international levels. These agreements allow a large number of students to carry out a stay at a national or foreign school in order to complete their bachelor's or master's thesis. Furthermore, through double degree agreements and by fulfilling a series of requirements, it is possible to graduate with two engineering degrees: one from the ETSETB and one from the destination university.

The ETSETB is internationally recognised for its research output.

The School's teaching staff stands out for its output in cutting-edge research and technological innovation. This is due to the level and quality of publications in international journals, presentations at international conferences, participation in projects funded by the European Union and the transfer of technology to industry. We offer the best training in techniques and technologies in the fields of information, communication and physics, with a solid scientific, mathematical and technological foundation that enables professional development from graduation.

 

We offer the possibility of pursuing double degrees

Both at the UPC, through the Interdisciplinary Higher Eduaction Centre (CFIS) and at the international level, through agreements signed with other universities, the School offers you the possibility of pursuing two degrees simultaneously and obtaining two official qualifications.

 

We are located on a easily accessible campus equipped with all the necessary services

The North Campus of the UPC, which includes the ETSETB, has metro stops and numerous bus lines. The Campus has a well-equipped library and offers the following services: banks, restaurants, optical services, photocopying service, WiFi network, study rooms, health centre, sports facilities, vending machines, accessibility for disabled individuals, university residence, etc.

The ETSETB is committed to the UPC's Equal Opportunities Plan, working along this line with the society it serves as well as its university community. In addition, it strengthens relationships with and between individuals, who are our university's main asset.

 

Paid internships in companies

We offer a wide range of paid placements in both curricular and extracurricular settings. You can take a placement at collaborating entities or at the University itself, or even an international placement.
