Presenting the Polytechnic School (EPS).This is the teaching institution of the University of Girona, specialising in training in the fields of engineering and architecture. The EPS offers studies bachelor’s degree, master’s degrees and doctoral degrees geared towards the current needs of the labour market, with a clear practical and innovative vocation.

Polytechnic School degree holders have high job placement rates, thanks to quality education and the centre's strong link with the business network. We have the Polytechnic School’s Board of Trustees, which is a collective body that connects with the different public and private sectors of Girona’s counties and involves close collaboration with companies and institutions.This makes it easier to carry out practical classes in real professional environments and favours student employability.

Furthermore, the EPS actively promotes internationalisation through mobility programmes and agreements with universities from around the world, offering students the opportunity to complete their education in international academic contexts.

The centre has modern and well-equipped facilities, with teaching classrooms, specialised laboratories, and technological spaces adapted to the needs of each degree. The EPS community is made up of students (more than 3,000), teaching staff (more than 400, 128 permanent) and technical, management and administration and services staff (more than 190) committed to academic excellence, research and knowledge transfer.

With a consolidated history of more than fifty years (#50EPS), the Polytechnic School continues to work to train competent professionals, capable of adapting and prepared to face the technological and social challenges of the future.

Since March 2026, I and thethe management team have led this institution with a strong Girona character (#OrgullGironi) towards excellence and the improvement of competitiveness among local companies.

We invite you to discover the Polytechnic School and to become part of a community that supports talent, ignites vocations, and works every day to help you build your personal and professional future.

Best wishes,

The Polytechnic School (EPS) is a teaching institution created in 1992 with the restructuring of universities in Catalonia and the consequent creation of the University of Girona.

In 1968 the school of Agricultural Technical Engineering was founded, which became part of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya on 10 May 1972.It was not until 1973 that the endorsement order was obtained, and activities finally began on 15 January 1974.So it is that for over 40 years the EPS has been present in the Girona region, initially as a centre dependent on the UPC and, since 1992, as a centre of the University of Girona.Throughout this evolution, the EPS has been the university teaching institution in which technological university courses have been delivered, a fact that has allowed the School to integrate into its surroundings and in particular the industrial, agricultural and service sectors in our region.

The School is currently located on the Montilivi Campus and consists of buildings P-I (opened officially in 1985), P-II, P-III and P-IV.It is one of the biggest centres at the University of Girona with more than 40 years of history summarised in the commemorative book being published.
