About UPV

Young, prepared, competitive, and international.

Here is a comprehensive and detailed photograph of the main aspects of the Universitat Politècnica de València. Data that explains how and why, in just over 50 years, UPV has become the best technological university in Spain, according to the Shanghai ranking.

Vital and intellectual dynamism, arts, innovation, technological progress, entrepreneurial attitude, knowledge transference, internationalisation, and talent are the hallmarks of the Universitat Politècnica de València.

Society brings new local and global challenges that we face daily by innovating sustainably and effectively through research and technological development, even in disruptive ways. At our three campuses in Alcoy, Gandia, and Vera, the UPV offers innovation, commitment, and excellence in hybrid teaching spaces and state-of-the-art laboratories to incoming students from everywhere, allowing them to reach their professional and personal success. This combination of talent and personal attention makes us a university community without limits.

The Universitat Politècnica de València is my alma mater, a university that, in just over 50 years, has reached the top in excellence and commitment to society. That is why it is an honour and a privilege for me to grow this legacy by serving the institution as rector.

As inscribed on our crest, ex technica progressio, we trust in technology to achieve progress.
