Welcome
The Master's Degree in Infrastructure Planning and Management is a professional Master Program, which is under the authority of the Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Civil (School of Civil Engineering), belonging to the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (Technical University of Madrid).
The aim of this Master's Degree is to provide advanced training in technologies, in the civil engineering field, in order to train highly qualified professionals, which will be able to manage all kinds of infrastructures related to civil engineering in an efficient way.
The planning and management of an infrastructure involve all its life cycle, from design to construction, continuing through the maintenance and rehabilitation, and finishing with the demolition or removal. The process implies a framework of sustainability and respect for the environment. Furthermore, in an increasingly demanding and changing economic environment, companies must provide themselves with professionals able to innovate and implement the latest trends and tools in the field of infrastructures, as well as to create differentiated advantages that improve the profitability and competitiveness of their companies, a very important aspect in globalized markets.
The Master's Degree curriculum has been designed considering the skills demanded by the industry and society to the European civil engineering:
1. Solid scientific and technical training, especially for research and consultancy. 2. Ease of integration in interdisciplinary teams. 3. Management capacity. 4. Economic and financial knowledge.
5. Environmentally-friendly civil engineering practice. 6. Use of new technologies. 7. Communication skills. 8. Familiarity with the legal framework of civil engineering. 9. Civil engineering practice consistent with the safety and welfare of citizens.
The Master's Degree in Infrastructure Planning and Management is supported by both public institutions and the main Spanish companies that demand and supply services for infrastructure planning and management (D.G. Infraestructuras del Ayuntamiento de Madrid, D.G. de Ferrocarriles y D.G. de Carreteras del Ministerio de Fomento, Federación Gremios, Accesos de Madrid, Transportes e Infraestructuras de la CAM, Canal de Isabel II, VIAS y CONSTRUCCIONES S.A., INCOPE Consultores

DEDICATED TO:
Graduates in Civil Engineering or other engineerings, interested in the field of civil engineering or infrastructures, as well as graduates in engineering with a curriculum not adapted to the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) (higher and technical engineerings). In the case of technical engineers from previous curricula related to civil engineering or building, it will be necessary to pass the corresponding training supplements (30 ECTS).
It is also of interest for graduates in Economics or Business Administration with at least two years of experience in infrastructure management or other related areas, as well as for Graduates in Physics and Chemistry, interested in the civil engineering field. These students must also pass the training supplements (30 ECTS).
Therefore, the Master's Degree content will be especially interesting for those professionals working in the infrastructure field, in areas such as civil construction, economic management of infrastructures, pricing management and traffic, as well as in engineering companies that provide services in this area.
The UPM may admit foreign graduates without an official approval of their qualifications, after verification of education level equivalency to the corresponding Spanish degrees, which allows the access to Master’s Degrees in the corresponding issuing country.
