Completion of this postgraduate certificate will place you as an Engineering and Industry 4.0 professional at the forefront of the latest developments in the industry”

Smart Cities respond to the changing needs of public administrations, companies and the population through new technologies. This means an improvement in the quality of public services and transparency for a city with a more efficient, accessible and inclusive administration. Smart Cities are a booming area of work in which there is still a long way to go, to discover and to investigate. 

Smart Cities could be defined as the equivalent of smart factories, which integrate Industry 4.0 technologies in all their processes. The engineer 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.

A Smart City actively promotes sustainable economic development and a high quality of life”
