The UPCT was established in the year of 1998.
Even though the science of engineering and economics have such a long tradition in Cartagena, the UPCT is the youngest University throughout Spain.
It can be said that, the combination of tradition and modernity gives us a vibrant, adventurous and innovative character. Hundreds of students from all over Europe and Latin America have already been registered at our University. We greatly welcome applications from students from all over the world and we highly appreciate the different life experience and diversity they bring to Cartagena.
Consequently, it is not surprising that many students across the world have already been registered for one of our master programs or have already applied for an admission to do a doctorate with us. We would like to continue to set a high value to an international atmosphere. Our international commitment was encouraged by the corporation with the University of Murcia, in the year of 2010.
