Courses detail

Have and understand knowledge that can provide a base or opportunity to be original in the development and/or application of ideas, often in a research context
Students should know to apply their acquired knowledge and their ability in problem-solving in new or little-known environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their field of study
Students should be capable of integrating knowledge and facing up to the complexity of showing judgment from incomplete or limited information that includes reflections on the social and ethical responsibilities which are linked to the application of their knowledge and judgment
Students should know how to communicate their conclusions - and the knowledge and reasons sustaining them - to a specialised and non-specialised audience in a clear and unambiguous way
Students should have the learning skills to continue studying in a way that will be largely self-directed or autonomous.

Be able to sustainably manage the maintenance and operation of urban infrastructures.
Be able to design, build and manage sustainable and resilient infrastructures in the urban environment.
Be able to develop a research proposal by analysing possible areas of development within sustainable design and construction, as well as BIM methodology and other ICTs.
Be able to identify and evaluate the most suitable sustainable materials for the construction of infrastructures by applying the LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) methodology.
Be able to propose a new business in the field of sustainable construction by preparing a market study and developing a business plan.
Write and defend scientific and technical documents through different media and in different formats related to the field of the construction sector in Europe.
Sustainable strategies: Know and understand the multiple concepts and approaches related to the fulfillment of the SDGs (Sustainable Design Goals) in the construction sector use existing tools to assess sustainability performance.
Sustainable design: Understand requirements and be able to develop design solutions that seek a balance between the needs of the different disciplines involved under sustainability criteria, using digital tools in the project (3D-7D BIM).
Sustainable construction: Understand the restrictions that arise when executing sustainable buildings and infrastructures, both in the selection of material and in the methods of execution, and in addition, be able to apply existing methodologies for the evaluation of technical and economic aspects.
Sustainable management: Know and apply work approaches that pursue the implementation of sustainable coordinated options under different disciplines, applying IPD models (Integrated Project Development), as well as ICTs (Information and Communication Technologies) for effective management of the flow of information and monitoring.
