With this Hybrid professional master’s degree, you will manage the most efficient methods to optimize both the construction and maintenance of roads”

The global road network is an essential component of land transportation and international trade. According to World Bank data, more than 80% of the world's goods are transported by road, underscoring the critical importance of roads in the global economy. However, Road Construction, Maintenance and Operation face significant challenges, among which the deterioration of existing infrastructure stands out. In this situation, engineers need to adapt to the changing demands of mobility and sustainability. 

In this context, TECH has created a cutting-edge Hybrid professional master’s degree in Road Construction, Maintenance and Operation. Designed by experts in this field, the academic itinerary is made up of 10 specialized modules. The didactic materials will delve into the latest innovations in areas such as pavement grading, road pavement works, BIM in roads and administrative file processing.  It should be noted that, during the course of the program, graduates will develop advanced skills to handle innovative technologies and efficient methods to improve both the construction and maintenance of road infrastructures.

As for the methodological approach of this university program, it is structured in two distinct phases. The first phase, of a theoretical nature, is taught completely virtually, thus offering a flexible and accessible learning experience. To facilitate this process, TECH has implemented its advanced Relearning system, designed to encourage gradual and fluid learning without relying on conventional memorization methods. The program then integrates a 3-week practical phase in a renowned institution specialized in the field of Road Construction, Maintenance and Operation. This stage will allow graduates to apply their knowledge in a practical environment, working closely with a team of professionals who are experts in the sector.

You will have unrestricted access to all the contents of the Virtual Campus and you will be able to download them so consult them whenever and wherever you need them"

This Hybrid professional master’s degree in Road Construction, Maintenance and Operation contains the most complete and up-to-date program on the market. The most important features incluide:

• Development of more than 100 case studies presented by experts in Road Engineering
• Its graphic, schematic and practical contents provide essential information on those disciplines that are indispensable for professional practice.
• Practical exercises where self-assessment can be used to improve learning.
• Its special emphasis on innovative methodologies
• All of this will be complemented by theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection assignments
• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection
• Furthermore, you will be able to carry out an internship in one of the best companies

You will do a 3-week Internship Program in a prestigious entity, where you will acquire all the knowledge you need to boost your career as an engineer”

In this Hybrid professional master’s degree proposal, of a professionalizing nature and blended mode, the program is aimed at updating Engineering professionals. The contents are based on the latest scientific evidence, and oriented in a didactic way to integrate theoretical knowledge into practice, and the theoretical-practical elements will facilitate the updating of knowledge.

Thanks to its multimedia content elaborated with the latest educational technology, it will allow the engineering professional a situated and contextual learning, that is to say, a simulated environment that will provide an immersive learning programmed to train in real situations. This program is designed around Problem-Based Learning, whereby the professional must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise throughout the program. For this purpose, the students will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts.

A complete and current syllabus configured as a high qualification tool of exceptional quality"

Take an intensive 3-week internship at a recognized institution and acquire all the knowledge you need to grow levels, to professionally"

Upon completion of this university degree, engineering professionals will be highly qualified to design viable, efficient and safe projects. Along the same lines, graduates will acquire skills to develop maintenance strategies that extend the useful life of roads and minimize negative impacts. At the same time, professionals will integrate into their practice the most innovative methodologies for road design, construction and management.

You will implement effective road safety measures, reducing accidents and improving mobility”
