Polytechnic University of Cartagena

[EduCativ]

We want to take this opportunity to welcome you to the University of Cartagena. The UPCT was established in the year of 1998. Even though the science of engineering and economics have such a long tradition in Cartagena, the UPCT is the youngest University throughout Spain.
It can be said that the combination of tradition and modernity gives us a vibrant, adventurous, and innovative character. Hundreds of students from all over Europe and Latin America have already been registered at our University. We welcome applications from students from all over the world, and we highly appreciate the different life experiences and diversity they bring to Cartagena.
Consequently, it is not surprising that many students worldwide have already been registered for one of our master's programs or have already applied for admission to do a doctorate with us. We want to continue to set a high value to an international atmosphere. Our international commitment was encouraged by the corporation with the University of Murcia in the year 2010. We have created this website for everyone who is considering to start studying at the UPCT.
The University Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED), a distance learning University, will prepare an international student admission test. Students from the European Union or countries with an agreement with our University have direct access to study here and are not obligated to take the test. Furthermore, as most classes are conducted in Spanish, you should know the Spanish language.
Welcome you on behalf of the Technical University of Cartagena. The time you will spend here can become a critical period of your life to grow intellectually and professionally in your choice's academic area.
Studying at UPCT, you will have the opportunity to study and work with excellent lecturers and researchers, qualified administration staff, and all the necessary services to pursue your studies.
By choosing us, you have decided to study at one of the leading research universities in Spain. Our quality, our people, and Cartagena's geographical conditions attract students from all over the world.
Spanish is the 3rd most spoken language globally and is used commonly in Europe, South America, and the USA. Therefore, a degree from Spain will open up a wide array of career opportunities for the student. Our course fees and cost of living, compared to other countries, are also very competitive, and the overall cost of gaining a degree at UPCT will be much cheaper – in some cases, as much as 40% cheaper.
Welcome to the UPCT, A modern, technological, and business-oriented university with a fast-growing international community, which attracts over a hundred international students and researchers every year.
On behalf of the International team and a hundred local students participating in the Mentor Program, I encourage you to enjoy the great experience of living and studying in Cartagena. We will do our best to help you before you travel and during all your stay here. Join us!
