Master's Double Degree in Civil Engineering + Planning and Management in Civil Engineering
Introduction
The Master's Degree in Civil Engineering (hereinafter MUICCP) enables the holder to pursue the profession of Civil Engineer, while the Master's Degree in Planning and Management in Civil Engineering (hereinafter MUPGIC) is oriented towards the field of construction management, not only from a professional, but also a scientific, point of view. Both these degree programmes, however, have many points in common.
Consequently, this double degree allows students to acquire the skills of both programmes through an integrated course, which both costs less and takes less time than obtaining both masters individually. Thus a student, rather than studying 120 ECTS on the MUICCP and 75 ECTS on the MUPGIC, will obtain a total of 165 ECTS on one single course, a saving of 30 ECTS and one teaching semester.
Objectives
Teaching on this double master's degree (through the MUICCP) fully complies with the requirements of Order CIN/309/2009 of 9 February 2009, and therefore qualifies holders to exercise the profession of Civil Engineer; current Spanish law stipulates that this is a regulated profession that requires the official corresponding master's degree. In addition, the double master's degree (through the MUPGIC) broadens the skills and knowledge necessary for the planning and management of projects, constructions, infrastructure and companies in the construction sector.
Number of credits
The student will complete a total of 165 ECTS, including 7.5 ECTS for the MUICCP Thesis and 15 ECTS for the MUPGIC Thesis. In the case of students from the MUICCP, the total course duration is six semesters, although the last of them will have a teaching load of 15 ECTS corresponding solely to the MUPGIC Thesis.
Course structure
