The School A splendid 75-year-old neoclassical building houses the Faculty of Nautical Studies of Barcelona: a dynamic, modern research and teaching centre that has high-end facilities and a multidisciplinary team of more than 75 experts in the fields of naval and maritime engineering and the nautical sciences. The Faculty belongs to one of the most prestigious universities in Europe, the Technical University of Catalonia (BarcelonaTech). The integration of the Faculty of Nautical Studies in the UPC allowed for the introduction in 1995 of the Diploma in Naval Architecture (Ship Systems and Propulsion) , which is complementary to the Diplomas in Maritime Navigation and Naval Engineering, Degrees in Nautical Studies and Maritime Transport and Naval Engineering. Since 1991, the Faculty has also taught a doctoral course in Nautical Science and Engineering that has already produced many doctoral graduates.
