Thanks to this exclusive Postgraduate diploma you will contribute to the sustainability of the planet by providing innovative solutions in wastewater treatment"

There are several reasons why water ends up being a limited resource for some societies. One of them is wastewater which, not having the appropriate treatment, cannot be reused precisely to avoid indiscriminate consumption, so this practice is resorted to as in crop irrigation, industrial processes,  among others. This is where the concept of purification comes in. Engineers have been working on appropriate processes for the purification of wastewater, conducting studies for the creation of new techniques for such action with the application of innovative technologies, also avoiding the spread of diseases.

With this Postgraduate diploma, the students, in addition to broadening their knowledge in specific aspects, will also be able to strengthen their competences to an approach guided to the global management of the field of study. That is why you will have all the tools according to the demands of the international market. This program will provide the most exclusive updates on Water Treatment Infrastructures and the deepening of concepts such as sanitation and urban drainage networks.

In the development of this program, the graduates will progress in important and specific criteria related to the approach of solutions to flooding problems in cities based on rainwater retention tanks and everything related to the sustainable urban drainage system. This through a specialized teaching team, in addition to an audiovisual support with high quality content, to offer dynamism in the academic process.
