Engineering and Technology to promote prosperity while protecting the planet
The School of Forest Engineering and Natural Resources (ETSIMFMN, UPM) offers multiple courses in the fields of: Sustainable land use and wildlife management; Preservation and restoration of the natural environment; Forest wood and non-wood products industries and technologies
Degree in Natural Environment Engineering
240 ECTS Credits
The Degree in Natural Environment Engineering trains professionals with solid scientific, technological and socio-economic foundations to develop and apply environmental technologies (ecological, territorial and topographic, information systems, construction, hydraulic, mechanical, electrical and electronic) necessary for natural environment management in accordance with the today's society demands.
The main professional activities of the graduates focuses on the natural ecosystems management, conservation and protection, and the restoration of ecosystems degraded by human action or after natural catastrophes.
The specific training allows the integration in multidisciplinary teams of institutions responsible for natural systems and resources management, advisor and environmental engineering companies, and environmental monitoring of works.
Specialisation: The course plan includes two orientations or itineraries with specific training in Area and Species Management and Detection and Correction of Environmental Impact.
Graduates can access to multiple master programs of specialization in the field of nature engineering.
