The Comunitat Valenciana will from next year with a new master promoted graduate from the training needs of an industrial sector is the traditional Valencian as wood, furniture, and related industry

The postgraduate course, which comes under the title "Master Specialization Business Technology and Materials for the Field of Wood and Furniture and Related" is the result of the agreement reached between the University of Valencia through the Faculty of Science Chemical Business Federation of Wood and Furniture Valencia, FEVAMA, and the Technological Institute for Furniture, Wood, Packaging and Allied AIDIMA.

The Master initially offered 20 places for both young students to look at in this specialization a real opportunity to work to be deficient in this sector specific training and for professionals who want to upgrade and expand their knowledge to adapt to new processes , techniques and materials that are incorporated into these industries, which employ more than 35.000 000 professionals in the Comunitat Valenciana.
