Departures
The training pursued in the master's degree aims to generate in the graduate the ability to develop planning and management instruments that make it possible to guarantee the sustainability of the territory, in its environmental, economic and sociocultural dimensions.
In short, it addresses a strategic issue for postgraduate training at the University of Santiago de Compostela and, in general, in the Galician University System, with undoubted professional opportunities both in Galicia and outside it.
On the other hand, the training received is considered essential for the completion of a doctoral thesis in territorial studies at any scale.
