  • Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) was founded in 1989 with the objective of providing an efficient, high-quality public education for undergraduate and postgraduate students.

    The UC3M campuses are very well connected to the centre of Madrid and are easily accessible via public transport.

    One of UC3M’s strengths lies in the wide variety of engineering programs available, for example: aerospace, biomedical, audiovisual system engineering, communication system engineering, electrical power engineering, industrial electronics and automation, industrial technology engineering, mechanical engineering, telematics engineering, and telecommunication technology engineering.

  • Madrid is a fast, modern city, with a population of over four million. The streets in the centre of the city are made for exploration—windy laneways are set in front of medieval buildings and are filled with old-school bars and quirky shops.
    Madrid is also a hub of art and culture. The Prado Museum is one of the most visited museums in Spain; you’ll also find some incredible exhibitions at Reina Sofia and Thyssen-Bornemisza.

  • The Leganés Campus houses the School of Engineering with its modern installations, libraries, computer rooms, and laboratories. This campus also has Wi-Fi throughout and a sports centre with an indoor pool.
