What it is

A science-based computer engineering curriculum covers the technologies behind everyday applications, including virtual and augmented reality, data science, cybersecurity, machine learning and computational genetics. You can study the whole degree in English, or in a mix of Catalan, Spanish and English, with most third- and fourth-year teaching in English. Optional internships in companies start in the third year, exchanges are open from the third year, a final project closes the degree, and a double degree option is available. Graduates work as cybersecurity experts, web and mobile developers, software and hardware engineers, game developers, tech consultants and IT project managers.

What you need

  • Choose the 100%-English group in years 1–2 (a Catalan/Spanish group also runs); most later subjects are in English. B2 English highly recommended.
