Madrid - Engineering, Math & Science

Program Overview

As the leading center of industry, commerce, and technology in Spain, Madrid is an ideal city to study engineering and its applications in the professional world.

This program is designed for engineering, math, and science students who want to take courses taught in English or Spanish at the prestigious and academically challenging university, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid. Unversidad Carlos III ranks in the QS Top 50 under 50 ranking, which measures the top 50 universities in the world established in the last 50 years. 

Specialize your studies with a range of Engineering courses, from Aerospace to Mechanical. Science courses provide you with the chance to study Pharmaceutical Science, as well as Food Sciences, with courses in Biology and Chemistry, too. Mix disciplines or allow focus on a single field for more concentrated studies. Engineering internship opportunities (with a 3- or 6-credit seminar) are also available to fully experience all that Madrid has to offer.

Why Madrid?

We dare you to get bored in Madrid—you can wander around the Plaza Mayor, visit the city's many churches and cathedrals, enjoy the sunshine in one of Madrid's many parks, see a Flamenco show, watch a Real Madrid soccer game, taste the city's unique cuisine—should we go on? Not only is Madrid the capital city of Spain, it's also the heart of the country. Located in the center of Spain, Madrid is a great starting point to explore this gorgeously diverse country.

Student Life

We strive to make sure you feel safe, cared for, and at home while you’re away from home. Whether it’s the orientation program that makes you feel prepared, your housing that is well-located and comfortable, the cultural events that make it easy and fun to meet other international and local students, or the field trips and walking tours that take you to places tourists don’t usually see—we’re all about our student service. Learn more about the day-to-day studying abroad on this program. From field trips to housing, it’s all on IES Abroad’s website.
