Advanced master’s degree Geotechnics and Road Construction

Without roads, the world world would not be the way it is. People would not be able to travel to visit their families. We would not be able to go to the movies or shopping malls. We could not go to work. We would not have the great freedom of movement we enjoy. Although this is often overlooked, it is nonetheless true: the social, economic and cultural fabric of countries is sustained by public roads. They are an indispensable service that requires trained professionals for proper construction and maintenance. Its realization is a complex task that depends on many factors and without a complete and specific education of the professionals who carry them out, it could fail. For that reason, this program offers all the knowledge for engineers who wish to specialize to do so with guarantees, ensuring a great future in the field of road construction, an area that demands quality personnel to build the roads of the present and the future.

Introduction to the Program

New roads are being planned every day. That's why companies and public administrations need engineers like you to build them"

Every day, millions of people around the world use different types of roads to get around. They do so with their own vehicles or by public transportation. And each of these people has a different reason: some go to pick up their children from school, others want to go shopping. There are also those who go to a leisure activity such as the cinema or theater, or go to work. All these people depend on perfectly constructed roads to be safe and durable.

However, there are also other cases: an ambulance takes a patient to the hospital, a police car drives to a place where its presence is required, or a transport vehicle is on its route to drop off various errands, parcels and letters. Thus, roads are not just a way to get from one place to another: they are a public service on which the health and safety of the population depends.

For this reason, there is a need for highly specialized professionals who can respond to the demand of companies and public institutions that require competent personnel. Without such personnel, the roads on which most people travel would be defective and unsafe, and societies and countries would function with difficulty.

This Advanced master’s degree in Geotechnics and Road Construction responds to this demand, offering the best knowledge for engineers and professionals to become true experts in the construction of this type of roads. To this end, it combines specific knowledge in road construction and geotechnics, so that graduates have the most complete education, integrating both branches to obtain the best possible results.

Think of all the people who travel by road every day. You could help make their commute fast, safe and enjoyable"
