Degree in Construction Archittecture (3 yrs)

Technical Architecture involves several aspects related to building work implementation. Thus, this degree is focused on the development of skills related to building work management, economic building aspects, building safety, quality control, building materials analysis, building structures and installations, the coordination of building processes, and the pathology of building works.

The theoretical knowledge is easily consolidated by working individually and in groups, carrying out simulations and practical training in the many teaching labs of the University.
