A postgraduate diploma that will take you in 6 months to have the most complete knowledge on Engineering Applied to Airport Infrastructure" 

The increase in passenger demand, the constant movement of people between countries, as well as violent acts against civil aviation have completely changed the concept of airport infrastructure in recent decades. Thus, creating such facilities or making modifications to them implies a deep knowledge on the part of engineers of the operation and needs of the sector.  

Thus, to be aware of the national and international regulations in force, to understand the airport administration and management, attending at all times to the real needs of the industry requires a mastery of this subject that is achievable through this 6-month postgraduate diploma. 

This is an advanced program with a theoretical-practical approach that will lead students from day one to delve into the importance of airports within the transport system, to delve into the basic elements of infrastructure, planning, design based on passenger flow, the regulatory framework and the culture of security.  

All of this is complemented by innovative didactic material based on video summaries of each topic, in-focus videos, specialized readings and case studies, accessible 24 hours a day, from any digital device with an Internet connection. In addition, thanks to the Relearning method, students can easily progress through the syllabus, consolidating the most important concepts in an agile way.  

Undoubtedly, a unique learning opportunity through a flexible university program, which does not involve attendance at a center, nor does it have scheduled classes. In this way, the graduates will be able to manage their study time more freely and reconcile their personal and professional daily activities with an avant-garde education.
