Don't miss the opportunity to become a prestigious engineer by taking this comprehensive program that will lay the foundation for your professional success”

This complete Postgraduate certificate that TECH makes available to professionals aims to boost the career of engineers who want to orient their professional career towards the knowledge of the water service and its sustainability. To this end, intensive specialization has been arranged to provide an in-depth look at the different parts of the urban water cycle, from the catchment process to its conversion into a resource suitable for consumption in a purification plant. 

Likewise, this Postgraduate certificate will address the issue of Water and Sustainability in the Urban Water Cycle as a transversal aspect that develops the most relevant parts of the integral water cycle related to the current imperative need to raise awareness of all agents involved in the service to maintain responsible management and consumption policies.

This Postgraduate certificate identifies the real problems in a city in order to determine the best policies in terms of sustainability management. In this sense, it will provide students with the appropriate indicators for optimal monitoring in sustainability management. From the user's point of view, we will describe the good practices that they have to adopt to reduce the average water consumption in cities.

With all this, the student will be able, from a management point of view, to establish, implement and enforce the necessary water sustainability policies to minimize the water footprint in the service.

Finally, the current models of sustainable management in the cities of the future will be discussed in depth.

All of this subject matter, condensed into a Postgraduate certificate that stands out for being taught 100% online, which will allow the engineer to study as, where and when he wants, with the flexibility of being the one who imposes the deadlines so as not to neglect the rest of their daily activities.
