Contribute to the integration between urban and rural areas and the most vulnerable spaces such as protected natural areas, mountain areas and coastal areas, favoring environmental and territorial sustainability, and favoring the application of the European Union strategy European Spatial Development Perspective (ESDP 1999), as well as the Territorial Agendas of 2007 and 2011.Basic skillsPossess and understand knowledge that provides a basis or opportunity to be original in the development and / or application of ideas, often in a research context
That the students know how to apply the acquired knowledge and their problem-solving capacity in new or little-known environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their area of study
That students are able to integrate knowledge and face the complexity of formulating judgments from information that, being incomplete or limited, includes reflections on the social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application of their knowledge and judgments.
That students know how to communicate their conclusions and the latest knowledge and reasons that support them to specialized and non-specialized audiences in a clear and unambiguous way.
That students have the learning skills that allow them to continue studying in a way that will be largely self-directed or autonomous.CurriculumSpecialties or itineraries:
This master's degree includes three specialties:Specialty in Urban and Regional Planning
Information Technology and Environmental Planning Specialty
Specialty in Management of rural areas and areas of natural interestTo obtain the title for a specialty, the student must take a minimum of 15 credits of subjects belonging to the module of that specialty. The rest of the optional credits can be taken with subjects from the same or from the other specialty modules. Finally, if you wish, if you do not meet the previous requirement, you can also obtain the title without specialty.
Credit transfer and recognition:
Recognition of credits: consists of the acceptance by a university of the credits that were obtained in an official education, in the same or in another university, and that are computed in other different teachings for the purposes of obtaining an official degree.
Transfer of credits: implies that in the official academic documents accrediting the successive teachings for each student, the totality of the credits obtained in official teachings taken previously, in the same or in another university, that have not led to the obtaining of an official title.SaidasThe 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 of it.
On the other hand, the training received is considered essential for the completion of a doctoral thesis in territorial studies at any scale.
