degrees on top. Technical University of Madrid access grades rank as the highest in their fields every year. Campuses UPM's Schools are spread all over Madrid, instead of being placed in a unified campus. They are: University City (Ciudad Universitaria) or Moncloa Campus Montegancedo Campus South Campus (Vallecas's Politechnical Complex) Downtown Campus (Schools inside Madrid's historical center) Research The Scientific and Technological Park of the UPM (“Parque UPM”) represents a significant boost to the University's R&D&i activity through the creation of new R&D&i centres, business incubators, and specialized laboratories, with the backing and participation of public and private institutions. The concept of “Parque UPM” covers various scientific and technological areas linked with engineering and architecture. It is geographically distributed in various sites, all of which are located in the region of Madrid (Comunidad Autónoma de Madrid): South Campus, Montegancedo and Getafe. University Institutes and Centers: Solar Power Institute Institute of Automobile Research (INSIA), with hybrid electric vehicle research. Microgravity Institute Ignacio da Riva Spanish User Support and Operations Centre (E-USOC) Institute of Optoelectronics and Microtechnology Systems (ISOM) Supercomputing and Visualization Center of Madrid (CeSViMa) Center for the Transport Research (TRANSYT) Center for Biomedical Technology Laser Center Institute for Solar Energy Institute for Nuclear Fusion Institute for Automobile Research Institute for Microgravity Institute for Optoelectronic Systems and Microtechnology Integral Domotic Center (CeDInt). International UPM Double Degrees The UPM has signed 87 specific double degree agreements with centres of excellence at a number of worldwide Universities. A double degree gives the best students the opportunity to study for an international degree by combining studies in two types of engineering, at the same time as it prepares them better for their future career. On completing their studies, students will simultaneously obtain a degree from the UPM in addition to a degree from the foreign university they have attended. A list of the Universities that have double degree programs with the UPM is shown above.
