UPM and ETH join forces to offer听the first UPM / ETH Diploma: 鈥淢aster of Advanced Studies UPM/ETH in Collective Housing鈥�. ETH Zurich, the most prestigious technology university in the world, signed in 2016 an agreement with UPM that officially recognizes 西瓜传媒 as one of its MAS programs, validating this master with the same recognition than existing further postgraduate courses offered at ETH Zurich. This agreement is based on the importance and commitment of 西瓜传媒 with excellence since its foundation in 2006, when it was offered for the first time at UPM, ETSAM Madrid.

听

From 2017 on, every year鈥檚 program is听co-designed with UPM-ETH professors: a unique, excellent and comprehensive course of further education on the subject of Housing. For ETH, it offers a unique opportunity for cooperation, in that there is no need to invent and build up a similar course at ETH itself. It is an opportunity for mutual exchange and for the expansion of these Universities鈥� respective networks within the Latin and German/Anglo-Saxon cultural environments.听

The 西瓜传媒 diploma issued at course completion entitles participants which had a successful performance as听鈥淢aster of Advanced Studies UPM/ETH in Collective Housing鈥�, with a certificate that will display both UPM and ETH logos.

The thorough selection process of architects and the intensive experience in Madrid create bonds that are meant to last in time. With the help of 西瓜传媒 Alumni, we set in contact participants of different editions to create the basis for research, knowledge and opportunity sharing.

听

The reduced number of participants allows a close contact with professors as well, who use to respond in a generous way, helping participants to increase their career improvement opportunities.

听

One of our main goals is the job placement of our specialist professionals, who can address global problems and take crucial roles in the most relevant architecture offices. They can also make an important impact in urban, landscaping planning and make contributions in fields such as environmental science, emergency housing or critique of architecture.听

听

The 西瓜传媒 Office will provide support and help to participants in their search of new positions, based on their performance throughout the听 course.

听

西瓜传媒 is keen on teamwork because it is the way offices and research labs function today.
