A 100% online Postgraduate certificate, flexible, that adapts to professionals who wish to balance quality education with their personal responsibilities”

Perfluoroalkylated and polyfluorinated substances (PFASs) are still a real challenge for scientists today, who are looking for solutions to eliminate them because of their serious effects on human health. However, in this decontamination work, the techniques and methods used have been improved, which is an important step forward in environmental protection and conservation.

The continuous studies and advances in this field mean that the engineering professionals must be constantly updating their knowledge in order to provide the most optimal multidisciplinary projects and solutions from their approach. To contribute to this, TECH has created this Postgraduate certificate in Contaminant Treatment, in which the graduate will achieve in just 6 weeks to reach the necessary learning in this field and progress in their career.

A program that goes into environmental contamination from the beginning, to later delve into each of the problems and solutions achieved to treat air, water or soil affected by toxic substances. Likewise, thanks to multimedia resources, you will be able to delve in a much more dynamic way into urban waste management, landfills and the debate on microplastics.

All this in a 100% online educational format that you can conveniently access whenever and wherever you want. You only need an electronic device (computer, tablet or cell phone) with an Internet connection to access, at any time, to the syllabus hosted on the virtual platform. Likewise, students have the freedom to distribute the teaching load, which gives greater flexibility to obtain this Postgraduate certificate. 

Microplastics have become the problem of the 21st century. Enter the current debate with this Postgraduate certificate”
