A 100% online postgraduate certificate that will immerse you in Soil Science and the environmental problems derived from pollutants"

There is no doubt that the action of human beings transforms ecosystems and that agriculture itself and the use of soils has led to a deterioration that endangers the environmental balance in many areas of the planet. An unflattering scenario that requires protection against pollution, the search for alternatives to chemical products in the agricultural sector and the conservation of chernozem soils.

In this sense, soil researchers carry out a tireless work, sometimes little visible in society, but appreciable in the recovery of land through different techniques. Faced with this reality, the role of the Environmental Engineering professionals can be fundamental given their multidisciplinary vision and technical knowledge. This is the reason why this academic institution has designed this postgraduate certificate in Soil Science, which offers students the most advanced information on this science, as well as the existing problems related to soil contamination.

This will be possible thanks to the exhaustive content provided by the team of specialists that make up this university program. Thus, through a theoretical-practical approach, the graduates will learn about soil composition, remediation techniques for soils contaminated by different metals or the latest developments regarding the danger posed by leachates.

The graduates also has case studies that will take them to real situations, where they will have to apply different methodologies and strategies in contaminated environments or with the presence of factors that affect soil composition.

A 100% online program also designed for professionals who wish to progress in their field of work through a university education that can be taken comfortably whenever you want. Thus, you only need an electronic device with Internet connection to access at any time to the entire agenda hosted on the Virtual Campus. In addition, you have the freedom to distribute the course load according to your needs, allowing you to combine your professional and/or work responsibilities with a postgraduate certificate that is at the academic forefront.

This university program will allow you to take a step forward in your professional career and create projects that can contribute to soil restoration"

This postgraduate certificate in Soil Science contains the most complete and up-to-date program on the market. The most important features include:

• The development of case studies presented by experts of Environmental Engineering
