This program will take you in an intensive way to acquire new knowledge in Civil Engineering and Infrastructure development, incorporating the most interesting novelties in this field in the international panorama”

The Civil Engineering sector is one of the main pillars of world economies, both because of the investment it requires and the economic impact of this investment, as well as for the structuring of the territory, which is essential for modern economies to develop at the pace imposed by the world economic order. 

Civil Engineering is constantly evolving, both technologically and geographically. Moreover, this sector is not exempt from the digitalization that is being imposed in all business areas, so, in order to train the professional in this field, special emphasis is placed on both the need to implement digitalization within the business structures, as well as on the knowledge of the new tools offered by the new technology sectors, to achieve the digitalization that is essential in these times. 

Another aspect that has been highlighted in recent years as being of vital importance for construction businesses is internationalization. Thus, this program will explore the opportunities offered by the international market, through multilateral tenders financed by guarantor entities.
