Welcome to EINA!!
We would like to extend our warmest welcome to all of you joining the School of Engineering and Architecture (EINA).
You are beginning a new stage at our School, part of the Río Ebro Campus, a leading academic environment for engineering, architecture, technology, and innovation at the University of Zaragoza.
With a long academic tradition and a strong commitment to society, EINA is the University’s main centre for education and training in engineering and architecture.
This academic ecosystem is also undergoing a particularly important period of transformation and future development through the creation of the Aragonese Technology District (DAT Alierta). Bringing together university, research, and industry within the same environment will foster new forms of collaboration, the development of joint projects, and greater opportunities to connect learning, innovation, and talent with the real challenges faced by society and industry.
EINA moves forward every day thanks to the work, talent, and dedication of the people who make up our community: nearly 4,800 students, more than 860 academic staff members, and around 160 technical, management, and administrative professionals. Your arrival will undoubtedly contribute to further strengthening this shared project.
The School currently offers 10 undergraduate degree programmes, one double-degree programme, and one integrated consecutive programme, as well as 12 master’s degree programmes — three of them all in English — together with a broad range of lifelong learning opportunities through continuing education programmes and micro-credentials. This academic offering is designed to support you throughout different stages of your development and to respond to the changing needs of a professional world in constant transformation.
Here you will find an education of excellence, recognised for its academic quality and highly valued by industry and professional sectors. Beyond the classroom, the EINA experience offers much more: internships in companies, international exchange programmes, multidisciplinary projects, competitions, technological challenges, hackathons, entrepreneurship initiatives, science outreach, culture, sports, sustainability, and many opportunities to learn, collaborate, and grow.
We hope that you will find in the School a stimulating environment for your academic, professional, and personal development, built upon collaboration, rigour, creativity, and a commitment to excellence.
We want you to feel part of this project from day one and to develop your full potential by actively participating in the life of the School. We hope that your time at EINA will allow you to grow, learn, and build relationships and experiences that will stay with you in the future.
We encourage you to discover the School, ask questions, get involved, and make the most of everything this environment has to offer.
Thank you for choosing to become part of EINA.

Brief history of the School
The history of this School dates back to the 19th century when, by Royal Decree of July 11, 1894, a School of Arts and Crafts is created in Zaragoza based on the ground floor of the building built for the Faculty of Medicine and Sciences and whose first Director would be Mr. Bruno Solano. On May 10, 1972, the University School of Industrial Technical Engineering was created, whose first director would be Mr. Pedro Benito Sainz. On August 9, 1974, the Prince Don Juan Carlos, acting Head of State, chaired a Council of Ministers in which the creation of the Higher Technical School of Industrial Engineers was approved, whose first director would be Mr. Federico López Mateos and that would start his activities on the second floor of the Interfacultades building on the San Francisco campus. In the summer of 1989 it would be transformed into a Higher Polytechnic Center, with Mr. Manuel Silva Suárez being its first director. On April 14, 2011, the Official Gazette of Aragon published the agreement of the Government of Aragon authorizing the creation of this School as an integration of the previous Higher Polytechnic Center (CPS) and University School of Industrial Technical Engineering (EUITI) under the direction of Mr. Enrique Masgrau Gómez.
