The master's degree in Urban Tourism provides an opportunity to train in a very dynamic professional area with excellent future prospects, in a context of rapidly changing cities, increasing consolidation of the smart city model, and the emergence of the urban environment as a tourism hub. The course focuses specifically on urban tourism, unlike other courses that cover tourism in general. It includes two new areas: entrepreneurship in urban destinations; and knowledge generation and smart tourism.

Economic growth, the evolution of society and the expectations of territorial development originate a demand for functionality, quality and sustainability of transport and the city. The growing need for social and economic activity to be environmentally, socially and economically sustainable demands a constant improvement of the functional conception of infrastructures and their quality, of the services they provide and of the conception of the city and the territory where they are implemented. . The increase in population, the need to promote the quality of the landscape associated with tourist activity, especially along the coast, the reorganization of production processes and economic activities, and the mobility that all this entails, generate the need to review the models of urban and territorial occupation and implementation of transport infrastructures in a territory already highly anthropized. This evolution requires the training of expert professionals from a multidisciplinary perspective, who can technically and scientifically support the necessary sustainable development, through transport systems and intervention in the city and territory.

Traditionally, university degree studies related to the construction sector have paid little attention to the field of management. However, for construction-related technicians, it is essential to acquire management knowledge and skills, since these professionals gradually acquire managerial responsibilities with experience and the development of their professional career. Therefore, there is a demand for additional training in construction management widespread throughout the sector, including public developers (Administrations), private developers (real estate and concessionaires), engineering consulting firms and construction companies. Complementarily, there is also an additional need for training in infrastructure planning and operation, more focused on public promoters. It must not be forgotten, however, that a large part of the future of the sector lies in concession contracts and in the maintenance and conservation of existing infrastructures.

The conservation, safeguarding and appreciation of heritage is an obligation of the society of our time.

The aim of the master’s degree in Urban Mobility is to improve urban mobility in our cities and around the world. This requires not just improvements in technical infrastructure (towards intelligent transport infrastructure, the Internet of Things, etc.) but also holistic planning, execution, and operation. Urban transformation obliges stakeholders to interact and understand others’ perspectives to make this improvement. This programme trains students from a variety of engineering backgrounds and equips them with the sector’s specific skills. It allows them to gain further, in-depth knowledge of the transition towards sustainable mobility, future services, and markets and the impact of ICTs and energy technologies. The programme also provides fundamental tools in entrepreneurship and innovation for dealing with the rapid transformation of a global society. There is currently no other master’s degree in Spain that provides such comprehensive education in this field.

MArqEtsaB is the yearlong Architecture Master degree that complements the degree formation and that is essential to practice the profession. There are three types of specialization: Theory and project, Urban Design, and Technology. Each one of these specializations means a theme intensification in the architecture field while continuing to attend to the necessary comprehensive reading of the discipline.

The aim of the master’s degree in Landscape Architecture (MBLandArch) is to provide an up-to-date response to current landscaping problems and to equip graduates with skills in landscape analysis, planning, design, and management while including the new challenges of adopting EU directives, laws and standards that refer either directly or indirectly to the landscape.
