The School of Computer Engineering

The School of Computer Engineering is located at Reina Mercedes' Campus in Sevilla. It is a nice setting with elegant surroundings and comfortable facilities, due to the amount of students in the area.

The School has a 24.000 m² building, which is currently being renewed. There are twelve departments, six of which have their headquarters in the School, and over 3.000 students. The number of students who want to enroll in our curricula increases every year, but, unfortunately, we cannot offer them all a seat. This is the reason why there are numerus clausus, i.e., a quota for the number of students who can enroll depending on their marks during secondary education. It is also worth mentioning that there are about 150 foreign students every year.

Most national and interactional companies have relationships with us, which is the reason why we are excited about our School being the grand School of Computer Engineering in Southern Europe.
