Take advantage of the key features of Smart Cities and take advantage of them to develop new business opportunities" 

Smart Cities are cities based on sustainable urban development, which apply innovation and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to the management and provision of their different services. It is predicted that by 2024, 90% of the electronic devices used by the inhabitants of a Smart City will be connected to the Internet. Therefore, this course presents a model based on a neural system of sensors that collect and return data in real time, turning it into an entity with a life of its own. 

Graduates with this qualification will specialize in the foundations of the technological architecture of Smart Cities. These are the parameterization and sensorization of their environments, the datification of public infrastructures, the measurement and scanning of social events and the advanced analysis of urban dynamics of devices. All this with the aim of improving the maintenance of facilities and buildings; knowing and predicting the behavior of the population; implementing new services; optimizing current services and making very accurate predictions to increase the efficiency of the rest of the ecosystems that make up the city. 

Furthermore, this postgraduate certificate has the best 100% online study methodology, which eliminates the need to attend classes in person or have to comply with a predetermined schedule. Over the course of 6 weeks, students will deepen their understanding of the scope of Digital Twins, understanding the competitive advantages they bring, so they will be positioned at the forefront of technology and will be able to lead ambitious projects in the present and in the future. 

With the implementation of a Smart City, it collects and returns data in real time, turning your city into an entity with a life of its own"   

This postgraduate certificate in Smart Cities contains the most complete and up-to-date educational program on the market. Its most notable features are:

• Case studies presented by experts in Smart Cities
• The graphic, schematic, and eminently practical contents with which they are created, provide practical information on the disciplines that are essential for professional practice
• Practical exercises where self-assessment can be used to improve learning
• Its special emphasis on innovative methodologies
• Theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial  topics, and individual reflection assignments
• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection

Smart Cities are increasingly integrating technologies such as sensing, IoT, algorithms, Cloud, Big Data, Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain into their systems"  

The program’s teaching staff includes professionals from the sector who contribute their work experience to this training program, as well as renowned specialists from leading societies and prestigious universities.  

The multimedia content, developed with the latest educational technology, will provide the professional with situated and contextual learning, i.e., a simulated environment that will provide immersive training programmed to train in real situations.  

This program is designed around Problem Based Learning, whereby the professional must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise during the academic year. For this purpose, the student will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts.   

A Smart City can reduce energy consumption, reduce CO2 emissions and increase the well-being of citizens"

Singapore, London, New York, San Francisco and Chicago are some examples of Smart Cities and reinvention"

The postgraduate certificate in Smart Cities focuses on addressing the topic of Smart Cities from a practical point of view, in order to give students a sense of security that will allow them to be more effective in their daily practice. The direct application of the knowledge acquired is an added professional value that very few computer scientists specialized in information and communication technologies can offer. 

You will get the inhabitants of your Smart City to connect with each other through multiple networks and through multiple technologies"  

General objectives

• Present the current panorama of the Smart City model in different countries
• Analyze the advantages of a hyperconnected Smart City model
• Establish different Big Data models and their prediction models
• Propose application scenarios in different city typologies

Specific objectives

• Analyze the technological platform
• Determine what a City Digital Twin is (Virtual Model)
• Establish which are the monitoring layers: density, movement, consumptions, water, wind, solar radiation, etc
• Carry out a comparative analysis of the following variables
• Integrate the different sensor networks (IoT/M2M) as well as the behavioral parameters of the inhabitants of the city (treated as human sensors)
• Develop a detailed vision of how Smart Cities will influence the future of people
• Establish new uses
• Generate interest in the implementation of smart city models

Consequently, a Smart City provides a traditional city with tools and systems that make its habitability more efficient”
