The Doctoral Program in Materials Sciences arises with the aim of providing the industrial and R & D & I sector with highly qualified professionals in this emerging and interdisciplinary area capable of solving the problems that are formulated in the new and increasingly economically important fields of electronic materials, functional materials, biomaterials and nanomaterials.

This master's degree aims to train specialists in planning and managing the territory from a multi-scale perspective, covering urban, rural, peri-urban and natural spaces. Its objective is to transmit the necessary skills so that its graduates are capable of leading work teams for territorial planning and urban planning. This entails the preparation of planning documents (binding or indicative) and the design of participatory processes in line with territorial development. It starts from a resolutely multidisciplinary approach and pays special attention to the sustainability of the territory in its environmental, economic and socio-cultural dimensions.

The Bachelor’s Degree in Applied Mathematics and Computing seeks to train professionals who are capable of applying mathematics in those areas of science, engineering, economics, and other social sciences where computation plays a key role. Students will be prepared for the design and use of algorithms and numerical modeling methods and for solving real problems. 

The Master in Genomics and Genetics aims to satisfy the demand for university training, within the SUG, in theoretical and experimental biology, veterinary medicine, food technology, pharmacy, forestry-agriculture and the environment, which represents an opportunity for / the students who require more training in frontiers of knowledge and technology in the life sciences in the Autonomous Community of Galicia.

This program offers a full semester (27 ECTS credits) taught in English.

The master's degree Biological Anthropology is intended to provide holders of degrees in experimental sciences and the humanities with up-to-date training in human biodiversity, its origin, evolution and the biomedical implications. The program responds to the growing demand for specialists in the area of human biology and physical anthropology, contributing knowledge and methodologies pertaining to this area of specialization and related areas (e.g., physiology, genetics, zoology, medicine, archaeology).

The master's degree Astrophysics, Particle Physics and Cosmology of the University of Barcelona is intended for holders of bachelor's degrees and equivalent undergraduate degrees (particularly in physics), engineers and technical engineers who wish to pursue a specialization in one of the following branches of knowledge: astrophysics and space sciences; atomic, nuclear and particle physics; or gravitation and cosmology. The duration and specific content will depend on each applicant's previous studies.

The science and optical technology of lasers, photonics and vision is a field of knowledge whose objective is the study of the generation, transmission, detection, control and manipulation of light. This study is oriented to the development of technologies with applications of high interest in multiple and disparate socioeconomic and health fields, ranging from telecommunications, life and health sciences, the environment, industrial metrology, leisure ... Up to scientific-technical frontiers such as nano-optics, quantum processing and communications, optical metamaterials, etc.

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.

The master's degree in Biomedicine represents one of the University of Barcelona's key strategic contributions to the field, both in terms of its academic content and on the strength of the underlying research infrastructure. The program covers multidisciplinary aspects of biomedicine and applied research, and graduates will have excellent future prospects in life sciences. The degree also provides the necessary training for entry into postgraduate studies relating to diverse areas of biomedicine. The quality of the master's degree is guaranteed by the excellent scientific output indicators achieved by the teaching staff and researchers involved in the teaching of the program. This is a multidisciplinary course coordinated by various departments in the faculties of Medicine, Biology and Pharmacy.

Research in the field of biomedicine and pharmacy provides a solid foundation for the advancement of medicine. The introduction into the market of new drugs quickly and continuously, new active substances or new pharmaceutical forms are allowing to extend the life of patents (and with this the return on investment that, for pharmaceutical laboratories, represents the launch of new drugs to the market).
