Wide offer of postgraduate studies
The UPC offers 91 master’s degrees –45 taught in English–, 45 doctoral programmes and 71 continuing education programmes in emerging areas with high graduate employment. According to data from the last graduate employment survey by AQU Catalunya, 94% of UPC master’s degree graduates are in work and 93% took less than six months to find a job. Most of them started their careers thanks to work placements, 96% of which were on a paid basis.
International experience also plays a crucial role: the UPC has 1,551 exchange agreements with 716 higher education institutions worldwide, allowing 2,940 students to participate in mobility programmes last year. The University also has 44 international double degree agreements with 30 universities.
