More than a thousand engineering students are starting academic year 2019-2020 in one of the eight Degrees, three masters and doctoral programs offered by Tecnun, the technological campus of the University of Navarra in Donostia.

230 new students joined the program yesterday at Tecnun with a grade average of 8.3 points of the high school diploma and will start the zero course that Tecnun organizes for 1st year students who wish to reinforce certain subjects. The students of the higher courses, masters and doctorate will resume their studies, after the summer vacations, next Monday, September 2.
