The university was founded in March 1971 and today it disposes of 10 faculties, 40 departments, etc.. More than 33.000 people are studying at UPC, taught by 2.600 lecturers.

About 60 % of the lectures are held in Catalan and only some subjects are offered in Castilian. Although the students are allowed to write projects and exams in both languages, it is recommended to attend a Catalan language course; the university offers basic courses.

Barcelona hosts three of the university centres of UPC and the rest is situated in smaller cities in the surroundings of the city, in Terrassa, Sant Cugat, Castelldefels and Vilanova i la Geltrú. Due to good train connections, it is possible to reach all the university centres within 30 minutes by underground or train, except the campus of Manresa 70 km away from Barcelona.
