The Master in Hydrosanitary is oriented to train professionals with technical capacity for the management, design, evaluation, construction, operation and maintenance of the hydrosanitary infrastructure that allows the use and exploitation of water and drainage systems in an efficient and sustainable way; maintaining an aptitude for leadership, creativity, and an investigative spirit to solve the challenges entailed by reducing access to basic services related to water, with a strong social and environmental commitment.

It is a professional master's degree that aspires to train people capable of solving the demands of the sector caused by the gap in access to basic services, especially environmental sanitation with respect to water, with critical thinking and high professional capacity, which contribute to the generation and application of knowledge, in a context of ethics and respect, that contributes to the integral development of our society.

Graduate profile

At the end of the program, it is expected that professionals will have acquired the following capabilities and skills: The professional will finish the program knowing the theoretical foundations and main parameters that influence the sizing of drinking water and sanitation systems, the modeling of complex water transportation systems , and the characterization of wastewater, as well as its treatment needs.

The professionals will be able to design hydrometry works, transportation systems, drainage, and river bank protection works against river flood traffic, using specialized software modeling.

They will be prepared to conceive hydrosanitary projects in a comprehensive manner, including appropriate management models in the technical and financial management of a potable water and sanitation company. Upon graduating from the master's degree, they will have leadership skills, creativity, and an investigative spirit to solve challenges. which entails the reduction of access to basic services related to water, with a strong social and environmental commitment.
