UPCO campus

The campus of UPCO is located in Madrid. 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. The university students have access to the library. It is an integral part of learning. Students come here for educational literature or to do their homework. Foreigners who come to UPCO through exchange programs study and live with local students. Thus, the university promotes intercultural exchange and the establishment of interethnic relations.
