The Faculty of Informatics UPV/EHU is located in the coastal city of Donostia / San Sebastian, in the Basque Country. This centre of long-standing tradition was one of the first to offer a university degree in Information and Communications Technology in all of Spain. The Faculty is therefore a reference centre for training and technical/scientific knowledge in ICT and artificial intelligence, and it is integrated in a public research university with roots in Basque society and open to the world.

The teaching faculty, comprised of 100 professors, offers the possibility to professionally train in all areas of knowledge comprised within ICT, through their own training programme, which is interactive and multilingual and includes subjects that use project-based learning.
