This thesis collects three works about holographic computations of entanglement entropy. In the first one it is shown how to compute numerically, following the Ryu-Takayanagi prescription, the entanglement entropy for arbitrarily shaped entangling regions in three dimensional conformal field theories. The other two focus on holographic theories with hyperscaling violating exponents: the time dependence after a holographic quench is analyzed and the arising of new universal terms due to the presence of non smooth boundaries is shown.
