The food industry is the sector that contributes the most to the gross domestic product in Spain. On the other hand, the way of life of today's society demands varied foods that are easy to acquire and prepare and have a long shelf life. This requires the training of highly qualified professionals in the sector, who must be able to innovate processes and products combining the different aspects that contribute to the success of a food in the market, such as its quality and safety, its benefits for the health of the consumers and, also, its economic viability.

The master's degree in Meteorology and Climate Sciences is mainly aimed at students with special interest in understanding the atmosphere and climate, with particular sensitivity to the challenges involved in improving the representation of observations, the modelling of physical processes that occur in the atmosphere, and the understanding of climate change and its projection according to different socioeconomic situations.

The food industry is the industrial sector that contributes the most to the gross domestic product in Spain. The success of these industries requires adequate direction and management, not only from the point of view of economic and financial aspects, but also from those related to the quality and safety of production processes and food.

The master in Nanoscience and Molecular Nanotechnology is an interuniversity Master participated by 7 Spanish Universities. It addresses aspects that are at the intersection of one of the most novel sciences today, the Nanoscience, with traditional scientific aspects of the Molecular Science such as Molecular Electronics, Molecular Magnetism, Supramolecular Chemistry, Surface Physics, or Science of Molecular Materials. The Master is aimed at training students in the field of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology so that they can develop a professional activity in this field, or a research activity leading to a Doctoral Thesis.

Forestry Engineering is a profession that has traditionally worked in multidisciplinary environments in the management and planning of the natural environment. The use and extraction of information from spatial databases has been a traditional task of forestry engineers but the advent of the revolution associated with the so-called "big data" makes it necessary to take a qualitative leap in the training of these professionals. The challenges currently faced by forest management are of great significance due to the magnitude of the problems (climate change, invasive species, biodiversity crisis, etc.) and the growing demand for goods and services by society. At the same time, there is an increasing amount of information, highly relevant for decision-making in forest and environmental management, collected in large databases that require specific training for their management and analysis. For this reason, it is necessary that these professionals have a good integrated knowledge of management systems and methods applied to the forestry world, but at the same time, they have the capacity to work in different fields such as database management, computer programming, data analysis, decision making through operational research techniques, or geographic information systems and remote sensing.
