Lecturers include prominent professionals with a wealth of experience in the various subjects and fields the course addresses.

Participants were selected on the merits of their academic achievements and based on the selection criteria set by the university and the company. These young students sit next to Cepsa’s own employees, who are also benefiting from this university training. Meanwhile, students from EPSA –an academic institution with which Cepsa has been collaborating since 1973– will be able to complete their degree or master’s at the company.

According to Miguel Pérez de la Blanca, director of the Gibraltar-San Roque Refinery: “We have designed this highly innovative experience to enable students to learn not only in the classroom but also in a real-world environment at the company.”
Another seven students from EPSA took part in the first edition of this dual education project, which is the first of its kind in Spain in the field of engineering.

Fundación Cepsa Academic Chairs in Andalusia
Fundación Cepsa continues to work alongside academia. The chairs at the universities of Huelva, Seville and Cádiz are growing thanks to the contributions and dedication of professionals from all these organizations to improve training, innovation and research.
The Cepsa Chairs in Andalusia have allowed thousands of students to gain first- hand experience of a real working environment, while bringing university lecturers closer to the reality of the industry in Andalusia. Exchanges between technicians and lecturers have allowed them to hone their skills and apply their newly gained expertise in their daily work. For all these reasons, today Cepsa is a great ally of universities in Andalusia.
