This new master's program becomes relevant in a context characterized by technological progress, in Spain and beyond our borders, the need for constant innovation with regard to materials, construction techniques and management and development processes that must be present in every building project, and last but not least, in a scenario in which concern for the environment and sustainability occupies a central place.

In the professional field, the program prepares experts in different but complementary areas such as the development and management of projects in the building field, as well as innovation and construction research.

In the area of research, this program responds to the need for experimentation in new techniques that are applied to building construction, new technologies, new materials, complex installations, advances in the field of calculation and design of structures, development tools and innovation.

The master's degree is presented as a dual program of 102 credits in which subjects from the two original MSc programs are combined, leading to a study plan characterized by being comprehensive and flexible. The very configuration of the study plan, articulated in 102 credits and three semesters, allows flexible enrollment and personalized development by potential students.

Along with the features mentioned above, this dual program facilitates international mobility through agreements that the Technical School of Building Engineering, which hosts the program, maintains with various foreign universities within the Erasmus+ and Magalhaes program, as well as specific agreements with European and Ibero-American Universities for student interchange, including the Università degli Studi di Roma La Sapienza, the Politecnico di Bari, the Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II, the Università degli Studi di Palermo, the Università degli Studi di Catania, the University of Bialystok and several Latin American universities.

In addition, a program made up of 3 semesters and 102 credits adapts to the needs of foreign students whose study visa is issued, in many cases, for a duration of 18 months.

Finally, this program provides two master's degrees, one in Building Process Management and another in Technological Innovation in Building, which certainly represents added value both academically and in an increasingly demanding labor market, and the possibility of expanding the field of professional development in areas ranging from the creation of a new work and technological innovation in building, to the overall management of the building process.
