Architectural Design Ecology in the Digital Age
In the field of architecture, the Vallès School of Architecture (ETSAV) introduces the new master’s degree in Architectural Design Ecology in the Digital Age, entirely taught in English over one academic year (60 ECTS credits). Amid an increasingly complex professional environment, this programme offers advanced training in architectural design integrating urban ecologies, computational technologies and architectural discourse. It is designed to provide new methodologies for architectural project design that foster a systemic and ecological perspective at the architectural scale. It aims to introduce students to cutting-edge digital design techniques, enabling them to develop projects through digital and physical prototypes that are systematically connected to the urban context.

Water Engineering
The Barcelona School of Civil Engineering (ETSECCPB) will offer the master’s degree in Water Engineering, spanning 1.5 academic years (90 ECTS credits). The degree aims to train professionals with a multidisciplinary profile, equipping them to work in research, design and analysis of infrastructures and modelling and management projects in hydrotechnology and the environment. Graduates will be capable of advising public administrations, companies and industries at local, regional, national and international levels. The master’s degree includes a double major in Urban Water Cycle Operations in collaboration with the Veolia Water School.

Artificial Intelligence for Connected Industries
Focusing on industry 4.0, the master’s degree in Artificial Intelligence for Connected Industries (AI4CI) will be taught at the Castelldefels School of Telecommunications and Aerospace Engineering (EETAC) over two academic years (120 ECTS credits). The programme aims to train professionals in artificial intelligence, machine learning, data science and telecommunications engineering, enabling them to apply these technologies in transitioning to connected industries, for the purpose of innovating and enhancing communication networks within industrial plants.

Advanced Biomedical Technologies
The master’s degree in Advanced Biomedical Technologies will provide advanced training in biomedical technologies, preparing professionals to integrate into various healthcare institutions, biomedical research centres and related industries. Taught at the EEBE over 1.5 academic years (90 ECTS credits), the programme will equip students with advanced knowledge and the ability to develop applications in three main areas: advanced biomaterials and biomechanics, advanced analysis of biomedical signals and images in digital health technologies, and advanced biomedical instrumentation.

Technologies for Distributed Energy Systems
The new master’s degree in Technologies for Distributed Energy Systems will be taught at the Barcelona East School of Engineering (EEBE) over one academic year (60 ECTS credits). This programme complements previous undergraduate training by focusing on future needs in distributed energy systems, where decentralised electricity generation plants - ranging from kilowatts (kW) to hundreds of megawatts (MW) - are set to play an increasingly prominent role. All of this is tied to a steadily growing demand for electricity that is both decarbonised and decoupled from real-time consumption. The programme offers training that is closely aligned with sustainability values.
