Objectives

Research carried out in professional, business, and academic fields and associations of the construction sector has highlighted the clear need for highly-trained multidisciplinary professionals who can successfully direct the management of building procedures. This involves equipping participants with the expert knowledge and skills of all the aspects of the construction process.

This Master course outlines a training syllabus which is directly related to the new degree in Building Engineering based on the previous knowledge acquired on undergraduate programmes, and with the academic contribution of a highly-qualified teaching faculty willing to share their own professional experience with the students.

To provide students with a multidisciplinary top-level training base, adapted to current European trends which adapts to the real needs of the labour market of the construction sector and is focused on the integral management of all the building processes, particularly those related to the business, industrial and professional areas and local government. The MGIE provides the student with a training base in the technical, theoretical, technological and practical aspects of the building process and fosters the pursuit of knowledge transfer and continual improvement within the sector.

Students on the course must learn and be able to:

• Participate in decision-making issues on the details of the product to be built with the developer or client
• Work with the project director in the drafting of the final projects, paying great attention to their viability and overall quality
• Total management of the building process of the project
• Plan, direct and manage the use, conservation, safety, maintenance and exploitation of the buildings
• Provide expert opinions and guidance on building aspects related to measurements, evaluations, surveys, inspections, various pathologies etc

The participation of the following agents is required in the construction of a building:

• The developer or the client, public or private
• The planner
• The project director
• The constructor
• The eventual user

The final quality of the building depends on the homogenous quality of each of the participating agents.

By focusing strongly on the roles of the different agents who intervene in the construction phases, this Master aims to broaden the professional's knowledge on the construction process as a whole.

Access Requirements

You can gain admittance to a Master:

• If you have a Spanish official university degree: Bachelor graduates, Architects or Engineers with a Technical or Higher degree.
• If you have an EHEA university degree that allows studying a Master in the country that emitted it.
• If you have a university degree issued by any university out of the EHEA, but that is recognized as being equivalent to a Spanish bachelor, architecture or engineering degree and that allows studying a Master in the country that emitted it. The admission with a university degree from a country out of the EHEA doesn’t entail its direct validation once the master is finished.

If you fulfill one of these requirements, you may start the any of the Master’s Admission Process at La Salle.
