English

This program is a compendium of the railway system as a whole. In fact, it provides knowledge about the entire life cycle of the railway system, from its initial project phases, through its construction process and subsequent maintenance. It also clearly reflects the technological evolution in the railway sector, current regulations and modern railway maintenance methods. Due to its comprehensive nature, this program covers the different railway subsystems such as infrastructure, superstructure, energy, signaling and telecommunications from the perspective of both construction and maintenance, where each technique has its own material resources, construction procedures and specific maintenance. In addition, the master's degree offers the opportunity to focus and specialize in two particularly attractive fields with a high degree of growth, such as high-speed and urban rail systems.

Objectives

The general objective of this program is to develop the student's capabilities in different technical and management disciplines necessary for the design, construction and maintenance of railway systems and structures. The specific objectives associated with this program are: - Learn the aspects related to the management of the construction of railway lines, as well as those related to the modernization of existing lines in terms of legal restrictions, infrastructure financing, environmental management, relationship with suppliers, etc. - Learn the main specific parameters necessary to design and write railway infrastructure projects, whether conventional, high-speed, metro or tram lines. - Address the technical aspects related to civil works involved in the construction of railway infrastructure such as viaducts, tunnels, earthworks, leveling, etc. - Learn the current specifications necessary for the design and construction of railway systems in relation to track superstructures, electrification, substations, signaling, communications, etc. - Have extensive knowledge of the transversal aspects of railway maintenance management, such as quality, environment, safety, railway maintenance models developed by different European countries. - Study the different maintenance techniques for track infrastructure and superstructure, welding inspection and maintenance, expansion device regulations, etc. - Learn maintenance techniques applied to electrification installations such as catenary, substations, grounding installations, etc. - Analyze and apply knowledge about the maintenance of railway signaling systems: CTC, interlockings, blockages, automated level crossings, etc. - Learn maintenance techniques applied to telecommunications and information systems of the railway network. - In relation to each of the specialties (High Speed or Urban Railways), the objective is for the student to know the specific particularities of the Design, Construction and Maintenance of railway infrastructures in these two fields.

Career opportunities

Upon completion of this master's degree, the student will be able to apply for different positions in the railway sector. There are a wide variety of career opportunities related to railway design and construction, as well as infrastructure maintenance. In addition, other opportunities are offered such as project designer/author, railway specialist, railway technician, production manager, construction manager, technical assistance manager or construction manager, track technologist, railway consultant, maintenance base technician, maintenance manager, railway systems auditor, etc. Please note that these opportunities will also be based on previous qualifications and years of experience in the sector, which, together with the different skills and knowledge acquired throughout this program in design, construction and maintenance of railway infrastructure, superstructures, energy, telecommunications and signalling, will be multiplied.

What it prepares you for

This program is aligned with current trends in the railway sector, thus offering a comprehensive vision of the sector and the complete life cycle of each railway subsystem. From the initial tasks to the techniques and means available to address railway construction projects, through the most innovative maintenance methodologies, this program aims to guide the student towards a global and continuous understanding of the railway sector as a whole from different perspectives related to structural subsystems: infrastructure, superstructure, energy, telecommunications and signaling.

This program is aimed at technicians of different specialties who are interested in developing their capabilities in the design, construction and maintenance of railway lines, road, canal and port engineers, civil engineering technical engineers, industrial engineers, industrial technical engineers, telecommunications engineers, etc. More specifically, this program is aimed at: - Professionals with current or past experience in any of the different areas within the railway sector, who wish to acquire basic knowledge and skills to join railway companies and related professional activities. - Professionals with current or past experience in any of the different areas within the railway sector, who wish to acquire multidisciplinary knowledge and skills above their current level or specialty.
