Professional master’s degree Railroad Systems

The Railroad System has undergone many changes in recent years, a notable advance being the commitment of the state governments of a large number of countries to extend and modernize the system. Due to the new high-speed passenger services, the decongestion of cities through new urban rail systems and the necessary transfer of goods from other modes of transport to rail, a permanent evolution of this system is being contemplated. In addition, it is the most environmentally sustainable mode of transport, which is a highly important feature at this time. This makes it essential to have specialized professionals in this area. That's why the program in Railroad Systems is designed so that the student is able to start specializing in the new technologies that have an impact on this growing field.

Introduction to the Program

It analyzes the new requirements and advances of the Railroad System from a dynamic perspective and is backed by the extensive experience of excellent teaching staff"

The railroad was not born from a spontaneous idea, but after a long process to improve the transportation of coal that began in the 17th century. In those days, the tracks were built with wooden beams that were supported and nailed to sleepers. Over time, this system has evolved and received greater support from state governments. This has favored its path to becoming an environmentally sustainable means of transport, something very much in demand in today's industry. Thus, it has become a fundamental requirement for engineers in this area to continue their academic studies and specialize in a field with a great international projection.

This Professional master’s degree explores the engineering and operation of railroads from a traditional, technical and operational perspective, but taking into account the current international context, which establishes new specific requirements for professionals in this sector. Special emphasis is placed on the new trends and technologies towards which the railroad is moving, in order to increase its technical efficiency and its service to society. Likewise, an analysis of the new safety requirements that are substantially conditioning the design and operations of the Railroad Systems is proposed.

The program is applicable in all geographical areas related to railroads, with a clear international dimension. We have taken into account specific aspects of railroad networks, projects and services that represent an outstanding reference in the railroad field and therefore are of great interest for the student. The Professional master’s degree has been planned in a practical way, so that the contents can be directly applied in the different professional fields of the railroad.

New technologies play an important role in this program. The railroad sector requires professionals who, already having technical competence in the traditional aspects of the sector, are familiar with, and know, the new challenges that the railroad is facing. For this reason, this program incorporates specific modules on research, development and innovation in the sector and on the digital transformation it is undergoing, all of which are key elements in the new strategy to be followed.
