Our school offers a broad and dynamic academic portfolio which includes pre-undergraduate, undergraduate, and graduate programs. These programs are designed to respond to the evolving needs of society and industry, incorporating both rigorous scientific training and hands-on experience.
The pre-undergraduate offerings include four technical associate degree programs: Diagnostic Imaging and Electromedicine, both launched in 1995, and Computer Programming and Information Networking, introduced in 2007. These three-year programs prepare students with practical skills and job placement opportunities.
At the undergraduate level, our school provides 16 programs, including bachelor's degrees in Medical Physics, Environmental Analysis, Biotechnology (in partnership with the School of Bio and Nanotechnologies), Diagnostic Imaging and Data Science. In addition, our school also offers multiple Engineering programs, including Biomedical, Electronics, Energy, Space Systems, Telecommunications, Industrial (in conjunction with the Institute of Industrial Quality), Environmental, and Transport (the latter two in conjunction with the School of Habitat and Sustainability). Notably, the Biomedical Engineering program was the first of its kind in the public education sector of Buenos Aires, while the Energy Engineering degree was a pioneering national initiative, emphasizing a holistic approach to energy systems.
The latest additions to our academic offer are Space Systems Engineering and Bachelor’s Degree in Software Development. In an increasingly interconnected and technologically complex world, Space Systems Engineering emerges as a strategic, innovative, and globally-oriented degree. Designed to train professionals capable of integrating and leading space projects, this new program responds to the growing demands of a rapidly expanding industry, both in Argentina and around the world.
Additionally, the Bachelor's Degree in Software Development aims to meet the existing demand in the social and economic spheres by training professionals with a comprehensive, interdisciplinary, and practical outlook, closely integrated with the software industry.
Graduate education at ECyT is closely linked with other academic units at UNSAM, ensuring interdisciplinary training and research. It includes a Ph.D. in Applied Sciences and Engineering, a Specialization in Nuclear Medicine Physics, and a Specialization in Molecular Imaging and Metabolic Therapy, the latter offered in collaboration with the CEMIC University Institute.
Student life is vibrant and inclusive at ECyT. Most of our students are enrolled in undergraduate programs, with a notable portion in pre-undergraduate programs. Admission is based on a University Admission Course (CPU). A 2023 self-assessment survey revealed that 89% of alumni rated the programs as high-quality, and 74% would recommend them to others.
The faculty consists of 520 educators, 36% of whom are women. Nearly 40% hold graduate degrees, and over a quarter possess PhDs. Faculty roles range from full and associate professors to teaching assistants and practical work coordinators. While only a small fraction is full-time, the entire teaching staff is deeply involved in ECyT’s academic mission.
Internationalization efforts include mobility programs that send 20 to 30 students abroad each year and receive 5 to 10 international students. The School also offers a Double Degree Program focused on sports sciences.
