Additional information about price
Huge changes have taken place in recent years in construction due to the need to preserve and renovate existing buildings, in addition to introducing new techniques and advanced technologies to improve energy approaches in all interventions in this area. A commitment to regenerate and renovate existing buildings instead of new constructions is a fundamental challenge in today’s society. Society is currently facing the task of contributing to economic progress without overlooking the requirements of sustainable urban development, where regulation is necessary to combine a set of different factors: the environment, quality of life, energy efficiency, service provision, social cohesion, etc. These changes have led to the job market requiring highly qualified technicians in the field of construction and architectural regeneration.
The need to boost professional knowledge in the construction sector justifies this master’s programme that will look at current legislation and regulations on renovation, as well as more advanced and innovative processes that have been developed in the field of construction over the last decade. Specifically, the programme will cover:
- Analysing current building systems and the introduction of advanced construction solutions in renovation, diagnosing building damage and how it is remedied through advanced techniques.
- Analysing and improving universal accessibility.
- Analysing the safety conditions of structural elements and intervening to ensure building stability and mechanical resistance.
- Analysing the space surrounding buildings and facilities, rolling-out advanced solutions for installation services and energy improvements in buildings through the use of clean, renewable energy sources.
- Advanced management of buildings to be renovated through Building Information Modelling (BIM).
- Specific legislation and procedures for building regeneration and renovation applications.

What career opportunities will you have?
With regard to further studies, students who are awarded the master’s degree will be qualified to access any PhD programme linked to construction and architectural renovation.
In terms of professional opportunities, graduates from the master’s programme will have advanced skills and training in line with current social and market demands. The building industry is undergoing huge technological change and there is a need to preserve current buildings through comprehensive or partial refurbishment and regeneration. This is transforming how sector professionals work and, in light of these changes, the job market requires graduates with a high level of training and specialisation.
The programme will also enable specialists to undertake work across different levels of government and access the highest categories only open to postgraduates.
High-quality official study
Legislation requires that official Spanish degree programmes receive a positive assessment from the National Agency for Quality Assessment and Accreditation (ANECA, by its Spanish acronym). This process is known as verification, and it serves to ensure that education programmes are properly designed to provide the competencies and reach the learning goals around which the programmes are built. In the results you can find reports on official study programmes.
The European Higher Education Area requires that there be a system in place to ensure the quality of degree programmes .
The Master's programme is subject to constant assessment and improvement processes that guarantee that it maintains a certain level of prestige and renown in Europe. You can see the results of the assessment processes in the section on quality .
