Master’s in Heritage Management from the Municipality

Master website

The three itineraries (Municipal Policies and Facilities, Heritage Enhancement, and Natural Heritage and Environmental Quality) have as their fundamental objective the training of students to address the analysis of heritage in the territory in order to establish appropriate strategies for its conservation and enhancement. This aims to meet the professional profile of the Heritage Manager in Europe, who, in urban or rural areas with tangible (movable, immovable, or natural) and intangible heritage, is part of or coordinates the team of managers involved in the reflection and practical application for its conservation and enhancement. Their professional orientation focuses on the analysis of territorial resources and proposing/participating in the implementation of a development policy that ensures their valuation and transmission to future generations. This involves applying acquired knowledge of analyzing the potential of heritage, its use as a development factor, conservation, dissemination, interpretation, marketing, and communication, enabling them to participate/coordinate the team responsible for implementing the cultural/heritage policy of the territory.

Jaén

Master’s in Mechatronics Engineering

Master’s Degree in Industrial Engineering

Master website

The Master’s Degree in Industrial Engineering includes all the competencies necessary to acquire the professional attributions of the regulated profession of Industrial Engineer. Industrial Engineering is a profession with a long tradition and prestige in Spain, which, unlike other more specific technical professions, has a multidisciplinary training that allows professionals to tackle problems of diverse nature.

It integrates different industrial technologies with knowledge and skills related to integrated production systems, business management, and project management. It delves into the knowledge of mechanical, electrical, electronic, systems and automation engineering, constructions, installations, chemistry, efficient energy management, environment, business organization, and project management. Industrial Engineering applies this knowledge to the development of products, processes, installations, and plants, as well as to the elaboration, direction, and management of projects in all industrial fields.

Master’s degree in Analysis, Conservation and Restoration of Physical and Biotic Components of Habitats

Master website

The Master in Analysis, Conservation and Restoration of Physical and Biotic Components of Habitats of the UJA offers formation in professional and research activities related to the conservation of the natural environment.

The interaction between human activity and natural processes according to unsustainable development models has caused, and continues to cause, profound alterations in natural (i.e. protected areas) and anthropic (i.e. agrosystems) habitats. These alterations pose clear threats of degradation of natural resources, loss of biodiversity, as well as increased risks and damage caused by catastrophic events, including large material and occasionally human losses, which ultimately translate into to the loss of functionality of the natural environment, impairing its ability to provide ecosystem services. The convenience, therefore, of training competent students in the complex assessment of these problems, as well as in the application of normative actions for the conservation and restoration of habitat and natural resources is the raison d’être of this master.
