You will master the design and construction of innovative and sustainable steel structures with this TECH's Postgraduate certificate. Don't wait any longer and enroll today!"

Structural Steel is one of the most widely used materials in the construction of buildings, bridges, towers and other structural elements. Despite the growing popularity of other materials such as concrete and wood, steel remains a preferred choice due to its high strength and durability. However, the design and construction of steel structures requires a thorough understanding of structural principles and the latest technologies in the industry. 

The Postgraduate certificate in Structural Steel focuses on providing comprehensive education in this field, covering from the general principles of design and construction of steel structures to the ultimate and serviceability limit states, as well as the means of joining by means of bolts and welds. In addition, the program focuses on steel structures against fire and their temperature calculation. 

In addition, the program is taught 100% online, which allows students to adapt their learning to their schedule and pace of life. In the same line, the methodology used by TECH for all its programs, Relearning, focuses on the student as the central axis of the learning process, which means that graduates are primarily responsible for their own learning.
