Introduction to the Program

New roads are being planned every day. That's why companies and public administrations need engineers like you to build them" 

Every day, millions of people around the world use different types of roads to get around. They do so with their own vehicles or by public transportation. And each of these people has a different reason: some go to pick up their children from school, others want to go shopping. There are also those who go to a leisure activity such as the cinema or theater, or go to work. All these people depend on perfectly constructed roads to be safe and durable. 

However, there are also other cases: an ambulance takes a patient to the hospital, a police car drives to a place where its presence is required, or a transport vehicle is on its route to drop off various errands, parcels and letters. Thus, roads are not just a way to get from one place to another: they are a public service on which the health and safety of the population depends. 

For this reason, there is a need for highly specialized professionals who can respond to the demand of companies and public institutions that require competent personnel. Without such personnel, the roads on which most people travel would be defective and unsafe, and societies and countries would function with difficulty. 

This Advanced master’s degree in Geotechnics and Road Construction responds to this demand, offering the best knowledge for engineers and professionals to become true experts in the construction of this type of roads. To this end, it combines specific knowledge in road construction and geotechnics, so that graduates have the most complete education, integrating both branches to obtain the best possible results. 

Think of all the people who travel by road every day. You could help make their commute fast, safe and enjoyable" 

This Advanced master’s degree in Geotechnics and Road Construction contains the most complete and up-to-date educational program on the market. The most important features include:   

  • The development of case studies presented by experts in civil, building and geotechnical engineering 
  • The graphic, schematic, and eminently practical contents with which they are created, provide scientific and practical information on the disciplines that are essential for professional practice 
  • Practical exercises where the self-assessment process can be carried out to improve learning 
  • Its special emphasis on innovative methodologies in geotechnical and road construction 
  • Theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection work 
  • Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection 

This knowledge will make you the greatest road construction expert around" 

Its teaching staff includes professionals belonging to the civil engineering field, who contribute their work experience to this program, as well as renowned specialists from reference societies and prestigious universities. 

The multimedia content, developed with the latest educational technology, will provide the professional with situated and contextual learning, i.e., a simulated environment that will provide an immersive training experience designed to train for real-life situations. 

This program is designed around Problem-Based Learning, whereby the student must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise during the academic program. For this purpose, the professional will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts.
