Geotechnical Engineering

The "Geotechnical Engineering" Master program is designed both for undergraduates pursuing in-depth specialization to become geotechnical engineers, immediately after obtaining their first degree, and for those with considerable work experience in the field.

Topics include retaining structures in urban areas, advanced soil mechanics, soil-structure interaction, soil dynamics, soil improvement and landslide risk assessment.
Graduates are highly employable, and may progress to relevant training by PhD or research programmes in the field of civil engineering.
Key reasons address:

·  Advanced instruction for successful careers in industry or academia

·  Up-skilling in geotechnical design by analytical and numerical modelling in geotechnical, structural and soil-structure interaction, monitoring and project management of infrastructure works

·  Development of transferable skills in research methods, communication and management of large and medium scale projects.
