Escuela Politécnica Superior de Linares. The Higher Polytechnic School of Linares (, often abbreviated as EPS Linares) is an engineering school belonging to the University of Jaén since July 1, 1993. It is located in the city of Linares, Spain.
This school was born as a result of the merger of the University Schools of Industrial Engineering and Mining Engineering, existing in Linares until 1976. Both schools were dedicated to the training of professionals in the fields of Mining Engineering (since 1892), Industrial Engineering (since 1910) and Telecommunications Engineering (since 1993).

The current facilities at the Polytechnic School are located, from September 1, 2015, in the Science and Technology Campus of Linares. Until that date, they had been located in two buildings dating from 1949 in Alfonso X "The Wise" street, where it was popularly known as La Escuela de Peritos (The School of Experts).

Current training offer 
The EPS Linares currently offers 8 bachelor's degrees, 4 dual bachelor's degrees and 5 master's degrees. The academic offer is essentially focused on the field of engineering, where this institution is a national benchmark. The engineering degrees taught at the EPS Linares are grouped into three large branches or families (industrial, civil-mining and telecommunications). All the engineering degrees of the Linares EPS lead to regulated professions with recognized professional attributions throughout the Spanish territory, in accordance with Law 12/1986 (BOE no. 79/02-04-1986). In addition, the bachelor's and master's degrees taught at the Linares EPS are accredited with the distinctive international quality seal EUR-ACE label (European Accredited Engineer), granted by the National Agency for Quality Assessment and Accreditation (ANECA) in collaboration with the Spanish Institute of Engineering.
