Structural and construction engineering

Curriculum:
The Master's degree holds 90 ECTS credits; 60 are for training activities associated with the Master's degree and 30 are for the final thesis.

• Block 1 (15 ECTS)
• Block 2 (30 ECTS)
• Block 3 (15 ECTS)
• Final Thesis (30 ECTS)

There are three main lines of training corresponding to three areas of knowledge in the field of Structural Engineering and Construction Engineering.
These lines are: Analysis of Structures; Technology and the Structures Project; and Construction.
The different subjects included in the Master's degree have been put into three groups, depending on their focus: A: academic, I: research, P: professional.
