What it is

You learn to conceive, design, manage and operate networks, protocols and multimedia telecommunication services, with the aim of making technical decisions on cost, quality, security and time. Elective tracks in audiovisual systems, software engineering, or business management and innovation let you tailor the later years. You can study entirely in English, optional internships with companies start in the third year, exchanges abroad are open from the third year, and a final project closes the degree. Graduates work in network development, mobile applications, cybersecurity, robotics and drones, research centres, multimedia and internet companies, and network operators.

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.
