Cybersecurity, AI, metaverse, cloud or robotics applied to mobility and transportation are some of the thematic axes of the micro-credential postgraduate courses that the UPC School will teach starting this October. It will be the first time that the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya offers this type of studies planned by the LOSU and it will do so by articulating 14 short-term postgraduate courses in mobility 4.0, whose tuition is financed by the Next Generation EU Funds
Starting this October, the UPC School offers microcredentials, a new short-term training model, more flexible and aimed at lifelong learning and professional recycling. The UPC is the university in Spain that has presented the most proposals in the 2022 call for aid for digitalization and sustainability courses in transport and mobility, opened by the Ministry of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda, within the framework of the Plan Recovery, Transformation and Resilience, financed by the European Union-Next Generation.
