Mestrado em Construção

The building sector is undergoing a process of change in recent years to adapt to the new market situation, looking for new objectives and new proposals. These changes affect both its technological aspects, the set of sciences and techniques that are applied in the construction of buildings, as well as the management processes that must be adopted by the construction, developer and real estate companies involved in building works. It is currently being built under new and more complex constructive proposals that are demanding advanced interdisciplinary knowledge in these matters. It is for this reason that there has been a clear demand for the intervention of specialist technicians in building works who, based on a synthetic and integrating knowledge of technological and management disciplines, can adequately respond to the new demands that this sector is currently manifesting and, in turn, can generate new advanced specific knowledge in these matters.

Research training, the ability to design, manage and intervene in development and innovation projects is currently shown to be an important component in professional performance in the field of construction. The Master's Degree in Building aims to respond to these new training requirements through its two specialties (Technology and Management), with a proposal that integrates professional specialization, interdisciplinary knowledge and training towards research, innovation and development in the building field. For this reason, professionals from business entities with extensive experience in the sector and, in particular, from the Technological Institute of Construction (AIDICO) participate in the planning and teaching of its contents.
