With this Postgraduate certificate you will be a specialist in the technical planning of trees and you will ensure the quality of life of the urban population"

The maintenance and proper planning of trees in cities is an important task for their proper development. It should be remembered that a truly sustainable city is one that has managed to integrate green space into its urban system. Therefore, technicians or engineers are required to ensure that both coexist in harmony for greater human and ecological benefit.  

For this reason, TECH puts on the table a program focused on the diagnosis of the conditions of trees in the city. In this sense, we will analyze the ecosystemic disservices they produce to society, such as allergenicity, cross-contamination, the fall of annoying fruits or branches and trees altogether. However, the focus will also be on what they contribute to urban spaces, especially in terms of CO2 and pollutant uptake or emission of oxygen and other volatile organic compounds.  

Likewise, students will delve into the management plans of urban trees or ways to improve urban sustainability through functional and ecological connectivity. All this specialization will be accompanied by leading teachers in the field, who have prepared online materials for students to acquire knowledge at their own pace. In fact, the only thing you will need to complete the course will be an Internet connection to access the Virtual Campus.
