What is the UPM Delegation for North America?
At the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, we revel in a culture of learning by doing. It is made up of 21 Technical Schools and Faculties covering Architecture, Engineering, Sport and Fashion Design disciplines. Both in Spain and abroad, our students combine analytical rigor with curiosity, playful imagination, and an appetite for solving the hardest technical problems in service to society.
MISSION
Our goal is to promote the international dimension of UPM in North America, develop strategic alliances with American universities and companies, create opportunities and synergies for students, faculty, and researchers, focusing on education, research, development, and innovation
International ALUMNI community
Our objective is to build a community of students and alumni that took part in any university in USA building a network that will help them stay in touch and share job opportunities and experiences; as well as encourage international students and faculty to live an international experience in our facilities at UPM by giving them information and helping them with all the process.
