The Professional Master’s Degree Urban Water Services Engineering of TECH educates experts to understand the importance of water quality and the implementation of treatment plants

Water treatment plants are structures whose purpose is to filter water to make it suitable for human consumption and have a relationship between raw water quality and treatment process choice and performance. For that reason, the Professional Master’s Degree Urban Water Services Engineering supplies an in-depth study of the basic principles to which any technology used in the distinct types of drinking water treatment plants must conform, which are a combination of multiple barriers used to achieve low-risk conditions, integrated treatment and by aim since each stage of treatment is related to some type of contaminant. 

On the other hand, there are distinct types of drinking water treatment plants:

  • Full-cycle plants: They include the processes of coagulation, sedimentation, filtration, chlorination, without specifying the type of installation for each process. 
  • Multi-stage filtration plants: They are plants with slow filtration in multiple stages.
  • Direct filtration plants: The water is taken directly to the filters and then chlorinated.
  • In-line filtration plant: This one oversees coagulation, filtration and chlorination.
  • Compact plant: It is the plant in which all the processes are carried out in the same prefabricated module.

The advantages that this system offers is its capacity to eliminate 97% of suspended solids, it makes a biological nitrification process without adding chemical producers, it achieves oxidation and nitration, biologically cuts phosphorus, organic compounds, also it is economical and easy to keep.

Professional Master’s Degree Urban Water Services Engineering

TECH Technological University created this program due to changes in the legislative framework, environmental sustainability, and the population's demand for best urban water services, which requires adequate public management, vocation towards users, private management with technological impulse, response to the needs of innovation and adaptation of the sector, and regulation of resources. For this reason, the institution wants to supply the tools and knowledge in innovative technological solutions to the problems in this field.

Considering the above, the main purpose of this master's degree is to boost the career of engineers who wants to deepen their knowledge of urban water services at a global level, providing them with an in-depth knowledge of the subject through a program developed by experts and increasing their professional growth opportunities through exclusive material, theoretical classes, graphic and schematic content, autonomous exercises, forums, and the development of practical cases.

The content structure is focused on deep in relevant topics in this area such as water and sustainability in the urban water cycle, sanitation networks, urban drinking water treatment plants, design and operation, water resources, wastewater treatment plants, engineering and construction execution, pumping stations, reuse, desalination, metrology, measurement, instrumentation, drinking water distribution, layouts, practical criteria for network design, among others.

Re-Learning method 

The Professional Master’s Degree Urban Water Services Engineering of TECH is developed entirely online. During the 12 months of training, the student has access to the program's contents at any time and from any device, allowing them to self-manage the study time with maximum flexibility and adapt to each student's schedule. 

It has its own learning method, 'Re-Learning', based on asynchrony and self-management. The contents are presented in an attractive and dynamic way in multimedia capsules that include audio, videos, images, diagrams, and conceptual maps to corroborate knowledge. 

TECH Technological University

TECH Technological University, the world's largest university, is also the official online university of the NBA (National Basketball Association) in Latin America. It belongs to the TECH educational group, a Spanish-owned multinational recognized by the Financial Times as one of the 200 fastest-growing companies in Europe. The company, founded and directed by Manuel Sánchez-Cascado de Fuentes, has also been considered the most highly valued Spanish technology company in the last 15 years.

Thanks to its fully digital learning system, it supplies training to students from anywhere in the world. An international trajectory has allowed it to become a benchmark in distance learning, with a catalogue of over 10,000 programs, over 100,000 new students each year, and 500,000 graduates from over 150 countries.

Specialized highly qualified postgraduate programs, they offer their students the best training programs at an international level, being leaders in employability with 99% of their students working in the first twelve months, according to data from the consulting firm KPMG.
