Escola Politècnica Superior Girona

What Escola Politècnica Superior Girona does

Escola Politècnica Superior Girona (EPS) is the constituent school of technology, engineering, and architecture within the public Universitat de Girona (University of Girona), located on the Montilivi campus in Girona, Catalonia, Spain. Founded in 1974, EPS delivers a full academic pathway through 12 bachelor's degree programs (Graus), 8 university master's programs (Màsters Universitaris), and doctoral programs (Programes de Doctorat) spanning Computer Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Civil Engineering, Architecture, and Data Science. The school's core 'technology' is its academic program portfolio, delivered through classroom instruction, research groups (including Technio UdG clusters), and campus facilities at Building P1, with a secondary administrative office at Plaça Sant Domènec.

The business model is that of a public, government-funded university school: tuition is regulated by the Generalitat de Catalunya on a per-credit basis with annual billing cycles, and the institution is supported by regional and national education budgets. EPS supplements this with industry-facing services — notably the EPS LAB platform for company engagement, a structured internship program (Pràctiques en empresa / EEL), and a Patronat (Patronage Board) of industry partners — that connect students with regional employers. Go-to-market is sales-led through the UdG enrollment system, with secondary-school outreach ('Relacions amb secundària'), organic social channels (Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube), and institutional content marketing.

The customer base is dual: prospective university students enrolling in technical degrees (primary) and regional companies seeking qualified engineering and technology talent via internships and EPS LAB collaborations (secondary). Strategic partnerships include the Cambra de Comerç de Girona (Chamber of Commerce), professional associations (Col·legis Professionals) for accreditation, and industry sponsors such as DXC Technology, CIC (Consorci d'Informàtica de la Generalitat de Catalunya), and Empresa Tavil, the latter providing €2,500-per-student scholarships. EPS has no independent revenue disclosure and operates under UdG's institutional governance rather than as a standalone commercial entity.
