COURSES
Tools to plan your schedule
Before selecting your subjects, we recommend checking the UPV academic tools below.
These tools will help you verify course availability, language of instruction, prerequisites, schedules, and possible overlaps.
Course Search Tool
Use this tool to find information about all UPV subjects, including:
- course description
- credits (ECTS)
- language of instruction
- teaching guide
- semester
- department
- academic level
Schedule Maker Application
Use this tool to build your weekly timetable and check timetable compatibility between subjects.
It helps you avoid overlapping classes and plan your semester effectively.
Teaching Guides
Each course has a teaching guide with detailed information on contents, objectives, assessment criteria and weekly workload.
All teaching guides are electronically signed.
Course restrictions
Some courses have restrictions or limited capacity. Before selecting your courses, make sure to review the list of restricted subjects and confirm that you meet the required prerequisites or permissions.
English Friendly Courses at ETSIT
These are the key points:
Classes are taught in Spanish, but students may request materials (slides, exercises, bibliography, etc.) in English.
Tutorials, exams and assessment activities can also be conducted in English.
For these “English Friendly” courses, incoming students do not need to certify a level of Spanish.
Lecturers may offer tutorials in English, accept assignments in English, and allow exams in English.
A minimum level of Spanish B1 is recommended to help students follow the course with additional English support.
In summary, “English Friendly” courses are designed to help international students who are not proficient in Spanish by allowing them to use English for key aspects of the course (materials, tutorials, assessment), even though the main language of instruction is Spanish.
LEARN SPANISH AT UPV
Incoming students can enrol in Spanish language courses or take official English certification exams during their stay at UPV.
These courses take place before the semester and are highly recommended for incoming students.
