Introduction

In recent years, the building sector has been undergoing a process of change to adapt to new situations in a more international and globalised market, seeking new objectives and proposals. These changes affect both its technological aspects, the set of sciences and techniques applied in the construction of buildings, and the management processes to be adopted by developers, construction and real estate companies involved in building works. Nowadays, building is being carried out under new and more complex constructive proposals demanding advanced interdisciplinary knowledge in these matters. It is for this reason that there is a clear demand for the intervention in building projects of technical specialists who, based on a synthetic and integrated knowledge of technological and management disciplines, can respond adequately to the new demands that this sector is currently making and, in turn, can generate new advanced specific knowledge in these matters.

Research training and the ability to design, manage and intervene in development and innovation projects are currently essential components of professional performance in the field of building. The Master's Degree in Building aims to respond to these new training requirements with a proposal that integrates professional specialisation, interdisciplinary knowledge and training for research, innovation and development in the field of building. For this reason, the planning and teaching of its contents involves professionals from business entities with extensive experience in the sector, such as 10t Project Management, Butech, Inhaus or Spans and professional associations such as the COAT.

Building management has been transformed, requiring a high-level specialisation in disciplines such as BIM, Lean, Industrialisation, Feasibility, Real Estate Management, or Business Management.

This approach has positioned us as the best Master in Building and Construction in Spain in 2021, 2022 and 2023, according to El Mundo ranking. Moreover, as it is an Official Master's Degree recognised by the European Higher Education Area, it enables you to obtain a PhD at any European university, with direct access to the PhD programme in Architecture, Building and Urban Planning at the Universitat Politècnica de València.

The specific objectives of the Master's degree are the transfer of transversal management skills, critical thinking, problem-solving, leadership and collaborative teamwork and effective communication based on the principles of sustainability and social responsibility.
