About UPC
Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC) — public non-profit university. It is located in Girona, Spain. The higher education institution was founded not so long ago — in 1971 — which is why it is considered one of the youngest in the country. As a member of CESAER (Conference of European Schools for Advanced Engineering Education and Research), CINDA (Centro Interuniversitario de Desarrollo), CLUSTER (Consortium Linking Universities of Science and Technology for Education and Research), EUA, UPC is actively working on developing the academic environment.
The university is in top-350 of the best universities in the world, according to QS World University Rankings.
At UPC, you can get a bachelor, master and doctorate degree in different fields of study.
The academic year at UPC is divided into quarters. However, tuition fees are calculated per year. Locals and foreigners study at UPC for the same price — from 536 USD per year. The educational institution helps students financially with the help of scholarships and financial aid. They are available to local and international students. On the official website of the university, you will find all the relevant information about tuition fees and scholarships.
Accommodation, transportation, study materials, meals and personal expenses are all things to consider before applying to university.

UPC campus
The campus of UPC is located in Girona. This is a fairly large city that opens up many opportunities for students: from cafes, restaurants and other entertainment to internships at large companies. But an urban campus can also be a disadvantage, because big city life distracts some students from their studies. University students have access to the library. It contains a collection of scientific papers, textbooks and fiction. Student life at UPC is filled with intercultural activities, as not only local students study here, but also students from abroad. The exchange of knowledge and experience, networking and new acquaintances — all this is an integral part of studenthood.
To stay in the country for another year after graduation, you need to renew your student visa or apply for a job seeker visa. We talk about other options for immigration in our article.
