About UPCT
Polytechnic University of Cartagena (UPCT) — public non-profit university. It is located in Cartagena, Spain. The higher education institution was founded not so long ago — in 1998 — which is why it is considered one of the youngest in the country. UPCT is working together with European University Association (EUA), OpenCourseWare Consortium (OCW), Compostela Group, Asociación Universitaria Iberoamericana de Postgrado (AUIP), Conferencia de Rectores de las Universidades Españolas (CRUE).
UPCT does research in different fields of study and offers master programs.
The academic calendar at UPCT is divided into quarters, however, for convenience tuition fees are calculated per year. One year of studying at UPCT will cost local citizens a minimum of 2,825 USD. For foreigners, the tuition fee is different — from 2,500 USD per year. Thanks to financial support programs, students have the opportunity to fully or partially cover the cost of education. The exact cost of programs and information on the availability of scholarships can be found on the website of the university.
It is necessary to pay attention to other costs: accommodation, transportation, study materials, food, and personal expenses.
In order to enter an undergraduate program at UPCT, you must successfully pass the entrance exams.
UPCT campus
The campus of UPCT is located in Cartagena. 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. During the period of study, students can use the university library, where they can do homework and write scientific papers. Not only locals study at UPCT, but also students from other countries. The variety of cultures represented broadens the horizons of students and fills student life with all sorts of activities, the purpose of which is cultural exchange.
Students are allowed to stay in the country for a year after graduation. To do this, you need to extend your student visa or apply for a job seeker visa. We talk about other options for immigration in our article.
