Why study this MSc Degree?
This MSc ensures standards of theoretical rigour and provides solid foundations, with the best teachers of two leading universities in the Spanish-speaking countries. Our learning methodologies bring students closer to real issues, to respond to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the SDGs.
We propose a new approach beyond the traditional cooperation system that relevant organizations and institutions are already using.
The MSc has a company network of collaborating institutions (firms, public entities, international organizations, and NGOs) that demand professional backgrounds such as those trained here.
Goals
We meet the challenge of seeking innovative answers to the defiance of social and environmental unsustainability, embodied in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the SDGs set by the United Nations.
We train professionals to introduce fresh approaches in development and sustainability fields, whether for the public, private, or non-profit areas.
The previous five editions of the MSc Degree in Technology for Human Development – UPM, and the postgraduate Degrees, MScs and continuous training in international cooperation of the UCM have provided us with constant learning.
