I am honoured to be in charge of the institution ‘Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Agronómica, Alimentaria y de Biosistemas, (ETSIAAB),’ whose history begins in 1858 as the ‘Central School of Agriculture.’ The ETSIAAB has been training Agricultural Engineering students to become officials of the Ministry of Agriculture and other dependent agencies, for many years.

We are proud to have had alumni in various top-level positions both at national and international level such as Ministers of Agriculture, General Managers of Ministry, and important roles in FAO, World Bank, Inter-American Development Bank, and many others; all of them have contributed towards our University College evolution.
The ETSIAAB is, undoubtedly, the most prestigious Spanish University College in the areas of Agriculture and Food. It has 16 ha of experimental fields with different facilities as greenhouses, livestock premises, machinery warehouses, seed bank, winery, cheese factory, oil press and labs for teaching and research. The number and quality of our professors and staff guarantee excellent support and monitoring to our students, leading to a solid formation and specialization in disciplines such as engineering, food, crop and animal production, agricultural economics or biotechnology.
Our University College offers wide and attractive traineeships to undergraduate and Masters Students. We have agreements with many companies and institutions from different sectors that provide about 250 traineeships every academic year. Finally, about 400 BSc and MSc and 40 PhD students finish each year their studies in the ETSIAAB to offer their knowledge and service in both national and international labor markets.
Alumni can confirm that studying in the ETSIAAB, located in Madrid, at ‘Ciudad Universitaria’, is a privilege. Our academic environment, friendly studies, gastronomy, and cultural and sports activities promise to be an unforgettable experience for the students who chose to study with us.
