International Foundation Program in Engineering (Spanish, English)

Each semester is made up of 30 ECTS credits and you can combine the subjects of the study plan that you choose, as best suits your interests.
The subjects are divided into 2 blocks:

• Academic subjects: these are the introductory subjects related to degree studies and degree subjects.
• Experiential subjects: Courses, workshops, languages, ​​and activities that are not related to Degree studies. From this block, you can take a maximum of 6 ECTS.

Between these 2 blocks of subjects, the following combinations can be made:

• 4 introductory academic subjects and 1 undergraduate subject. This combination is recommended to access Degree studies after the IFP
• 5 introductory academic subjects.
• 3 introductory academic subjects, 1 undergraduate subject, and 6 ECTS in experiential subjects (language, workshops, etc.)
• 4 introductory academic subjects and 6 ECTS in experiential subjects (language, workshops, etc.)

In addition to the chosen subjects, training complements will be added, which are mandatory subjects taken in the first semester. There are 2 types of training supplements: Mathematics reinforcement (only for Engineering students) and Oral and Written Expression (for all students). It is not necessary to register them.

*If you want to access Degree studies after the International Foundation Program, it is important to take the following into account:

• Each introductory subject is related to degrees in different areas of knowledge. In the Degree Access Requirements (paragraph below of Degree Access), you can check which subjects are related to each Degree.
