With this GIS postgraduate certificate in Environmental Modeling you will get a step further in your professional career in the field of Engineering”

Prevention and safety management in the event of natural disasters are fundamental for human beings. For this reason, many technology companies have made significant efforts to develop systems that make it possible to analyze different situation models using different techniques. The result is the boost in the use of geographic information systems for forecasting, for example, the development of a fire, the impact of volcanic eruption lava flows or urban management.

Thanks to this progress, engineering professionals have tremendously useful tools for the effective implementation of their projects. Likewise, the continuous innovations in this field make their knowledge indispensable to advance in any career path. For this reason, TECH has created this postgraduate certificate in GIS Environmental Modeling, which seeks to provide students with the essential learning they need to thrive in their field.

A program taught exclusively online and with innovative didactic resources, with which you can easily delve into geographic databases, the most widely used computer programs today, as well as the resolution of environmental problems through a GIS. Also, thanks to the Relearning method, based on the reiteration of content, you can delve in a much more agile way through the use of mathematical models in Environmental Sciences.

The professionals are, therefore, before an excellent opportunity to advance in their field of work with a university program, which can be taken whenever you want, from a computer or tablet with Internet connection. In addition, this postgraduate certificate is flexible, as it allows students to distribute the course load according to their needs and to make it compatible with their personal responsibilities.
