School of Computer Engineering

What School of Computer Engineering does

The School of Computer Engineering (Escuela de Ingeniería Informática) is a department of the Universidad de Oviedo, a public university in Asturias, Spain, founded in 1982 and located at Campus de Los Catalanes, C/ Valdés Salas, Oviedo. It provides higher-education programs in computer science and software engineering, anchored on a 4-year undergraduate Degree in Software Engineering (Grado en Ingeniería Informática del Software, 240 ECTS) aligned with ACM curriculum recommendations, with limited enrollment of 150 new students per year split between a Spanish track (100 places) and a bilingual English track (50 places). The portfolio also includes a Master's in Web Engineering (60 ECTS, three orientations — IoT, Research, Web Security — under the Plan 2024), a Master's in Cybersecurity, a Dual Degree in Software Engineering and Mathematics, and an Adaptation Course for legacy Technical Engineers; both the undergraduate degree and the Master's in Web Engineering hold the Euro-INF quality label from EQANIE, placing the School among only seven centers in Spain with that dual accreditation.

The School's core technology is its curriculum and pedagogy rather than a commercial product stack: mandatory enterprise internships (6-ECTS 'Prácticas en Empresa'), a final degree project, laboratory work in software development, web engineering, cybersecurity and IoT, and an active Alumni Association. Underlying infrastructure is shared with the Universidad de Oviedo, including Microsoft-hosted institutional email (uniovi.es domain) and Telecable network services.

Revenue mechanics are those of a public Spanish university department: the School is funded through the Universidad de Oviedo budget, which in turn receives regional and national government appropriations, while tuition fees are set annually by the Government of the Principality of Asturias and the University. The School's 'customers' are prospective students admitted via the national EBAU pre-enrollment system and international students via mobility agreements; enterprise partnerships exist primarily as internship-placement channels rather than as revenue customers. The entity has no VC or private-equity ownership, no subsidiaries, and reports no commercial revenue or funding rounds.
