Instituto Politécnico Nacional - IPN
speciality: Mechanical

I’ve studied here for 8 years. During my time at the school, the only thing I can complain about is that the curricula are somewhat outdated, but the professors take that into account and try to teach more than what the curriculum requires, based on what the industry currently demands. Most professors go the extra mile to ensure everything is clearly understood, and the level of rigor is appropriate for the educational level offered. There’s a lot of support for research projects, and the capstone project provides everything needed to help students transition into the workforce or a life of entrepreneurship without specifically training them for either path.

Compared to other schools in Mexico, the IPN has always been characterized as one of the best. I currently study at UPIITA, which is one of the institute’s schools, and I think I can’t complain about what I’ve learned during more than 8 years of studying at the institute.

The National Polytechnic Institute, Higher School of Engineering and Architecture Campus, offers a very extensive program tailored to industry, taught by professors with extensive experience in the field. The program is tailored to current workforce needs. It is a university of excellence that stands out nationally and internationally.

IPN is a good school where you can learn technical knowledge that is widely used in real-life jobs. However, soft skills are not taught enough, even though they are essential for professional development.
