Introduction to the Program
Un programa exhaustivo y 100% online, exclusivo de TECH y con una perspectiva internacional respaldada por nuestra afiliación con American Wine Society”
La agricultura orgánica se ha planteado como la solución frente a la fuerte presión productiva en este ámbito. Además, este tipo de plantaciones atiende a la biodiversidad y, por ende, va a recaer sobre los beneficios íntegros en la vid. Se trata de fórmulas respetuosas que buscan conservar los genes en el fruto que los insumos químicos suelen dañar. Todo enfocado a obtener un producto mucho más natural y que cuenten con las propiedades que hacen beneficioso al vino.
Dominar los procesos de elaboración y las nuevas tecnologías debe ser el objetivo a lograr por parte de las organizaciones que se ocupan de su producción. No obstante, el ritmo frenético de la industria y su alto crecimiento hacen que las empresas busquen alternativas económicas a la lenta elaboración del producto que, en su mayoría, perjudica a la oferta final a largo plazo. Y es que la calidad del vino va a depender de los procedimientos naturales y artificiales, desde la primera fase, hasta su embotellado.
Para instruir a los egresados en Ingeniería Enológica y el resto de profesionales interesados en esta disciplina, TECH ha desarrollado una titulación exhaustiva, que profundiza en la disponibilidad de nutrientes para las vides y se centra en la resolución de situaciones de estrés innecesarias para el cultivo. Todo ello, mediante una modalidad 100% online que dota de facilidades y flexibilidad al alumnado para que siga el Experto Universitario desde cualquier lugar y en cualquier momento, disponiendo únicamente de un dispositivo electrónico y conexión a internet.
Asimismo, gracias a que TECH Global University es miembro de American Wine Society (AWS), el profesional contará con materiales especializados, guías y ejercicios avanzados para la práctica de la enología y la promoción de la cultura vitivinícola. Además, podrá asistir a eventos académicos, recibir descuentos en publicaciones y conectarse con una amplia red internacional de destacados investigadores, reforzando el conocimiento en este campo.
Matricúlate ahora en un programa que no solo te enseñará a comprender las variedades de uva y los estilos de vino, sino que te convertirá en un profesional multidisciplinar capaz de aportar soluciones agrícolas”
