Rector's governing team
Executive Council
The Executive Council is composed of university officers and general bodies (the vice-rectors, the general secretary, the general manager and the rector’s delegates) and the head of the Rector’s Bureau. They all assist the rector in their functions. This is the UPC’s management team.
Rector
The rector is the University’s highest academic authority. The rector represents, directs, governs and manages the University, develops the lines of action approved by the corresponding collegial bodies and executes agreements.
On 29 May 2025, the full professor Francesc Torres was appointed the new rector of the UPC by the Government of Catalonia and, on 3 June, he was sworn in at a solemn ceremony in the assembly hall of the Barcelona School of Architecture (ETSAB).
