ESEI (Escola Superior de Enxeñaría Informática)

What ESEI (Escola Superior de Enxeñaría Informática) does

ESEI (Escola Superior de Enxeñaría Informática) is a public university school operating within the University of Vigo system at the Campus de Ourense in Galicia, Spain. Founded in 1991, it serves undergraduate and postgraduate students through degree programs in Computer Engineering (GREI, MEI) and Artificial Intelligence (GRIA, MIA), supplemented by dual-degree paths (AI+EI and ADE+EI), a combined GREI+MEI program (PARS), and doctoral studies. It also hosts industry collaboration via mandatory internships, research chairs (including the Cátedra ALDABA-WIB on Women, ICT & Business), and the Venture Lab Campus Auga entrepreneurship program.

The institution's technical curriculum covers computer engineering, AI, data engineering, NLP, intelligent robotics, computer vision, cybersecurity, distributed computing, and software engineering. Master's programs (MIA at 90 ECTS over three semesters; MEI) integrate mandatory professional practice and a Master's Thesis. The school is accredited by the European EURO-INF quality seal (the first such recipient in Galicia for informatics engineering, also covering the MEI), holds FIDES-Audit certification, and operates under institutional accreditation granted by Spain's Council of Universities since January 2018, with an ACSUG renewal visit in October 2025.

ESEI is a government state entity funded by the Galician regional government and the Spanish Ministry of Universities through the University of Vigo; it does not have private equity, venture capital, or external investors. Tuition and fee structures follow Galician public university regulations and are not individually published. The school's go-to-market relies on the centralized Galician university pre-enrollment system, EDUGAL regional education fair participation, open days, social media (Facebook, Twitter, Telegram), and direct messaging (WhatsApp, Telegram) for prospective student outreach; international intake runs through Erasmus+ mobility. No revenue figures are publicly disclosed.
