Programs
The Barcelona School of Telecommunications Engineering has established different conventions and collaboration agreements with schools and companies from different European states and around the world.
These agreements allow each year around a hundred students to spend time at a foreign center or company. In the case of companies and schools that have an agreement, the Bachelor's Final Thesis and the Master's Final Thesis can be carried out.
