10 Civil Engineering Degree Programs in Spain

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is essential within civil engineering. Professionals with this specialization can use the benefits of BIM in all stages of an infrastructure project. Currently, more than a challenge, BIM is a necessity.

This doctoral program aims to provide the society of specialist professionals in rural areas and civil engineering with an adequate ability to diagnose existing problems and with knowledge to solve them from applied research typical of the field of Engineering, with special emphasis on in research, development and transfer of results. This degree provides a response to a growing demand from applied professionals and researchers, since it is intended to provide students with advanced and quality scientific and technological training, thus contributing to rural and civil development.

In the current situation, there is a demand, from consulting and construction companies, for increasingly highly qualified professionals in the field of structures and geotechnics. The Máster Universitario en Ingeniería Estructural y Geotécnica trains professionals in the design, project, calculation and maintenance of structures and their foundations of all types in the field of architecture and civil and industrial engineering.

With the Master of Civil Infrastructures, a wide, extensive and intense range of very important theoretical-practical knowledge will be exposed and developed that will enhance the capabilities of professionals who carry out their work in the development of roads and their infrastructures. This program is of great interest to technical designers of linear infrastructures who want to deepen their knowledge, and adapt it to the reality of the works, facilitating their construction.

The Master’s degree in Geotechnical Engineering and Foundations at Structuralia aims to strengthen, increase, and consolidate the knowledge and skills of construction, geology, and civil engineering professionals in the field of Geotechnical Engineering through a total of 9 modules. In addition to the main general concepts, the program focuses special attention on numerical modeling applications using a solid theoretical framework and practical exercises.

Civil engineering provides sustainable solutions to the problems of integration of infrastructures with the environment and society. The planning of cities and their services, the layout of railway networks and highways, the defense of coasts and beaches, security against floods and earthquakes, the design and construction of bridges, tunnels, dams and ports or integrated management of projects and works constitute the most common activities of civil engineering.

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.

Integration of the BIM methodology in all phases of a project and management of linear works in transportation infrastructure. This master's degree is created so that the engineering professional or student can achieve highly specialized knowledge in all phases of a civil infrastructure project, addressing the need for knowledge of BIM technology in public procurement.

This Master’s Degree in Railway Infrastructure Design, Construction and Maintenance. Specialty in High-speed Railway infrastructure programs is aligned with the current trends in the railway sector, thus providing a 360º view of the sector and the complete life cycle of each railway subsystem.

Calling future urban thinkers who are curious about how we can revitalise post-industrial cities! This exciting and unique Master's programme wants to create an educational experience which recognizes and responds critically to issues of cities in different forms and stages of post-industrial transition and educates the next generation of specialists with the 21st-century skills and knowledge needed to address the challenges and opportunities of cities in transition and super diverse societies. It is the ideal program for professionals involved in the design, planning, management or evaluation of the city who want to join a vibrant knowledge and innovation community committed to rethinking more sustainable urban futures. RePIC fosters transformative modes of teaching, research, and learning - responding to post-industrial cities' specific challenges and characteristics.
