Studying the MDI broadened my horizons because is it was during this time that I acquired the ability to research, learn, and develop any subject that interests me, whether for my professional or personal life. It also left me with the assurance that, through construction, I can be a source of employment generation for the country and the world. I am certain of what I will achieve and what I will do ethically and professionally.

Having completed this master's degree gave me a new vision regarding the development of projects in this field. It is a first-rate program for its training in market research techniques, financial aspects and comprehensive real estate business issues with a 100% real application to the country's economy. All this is reflected in the professors and panelists who give you the tools and advice to get ahead and undertake real and high-impact real estate projects.
