Program Overview

The Master’s program in Geotechnics trains experts over two years (four semesters) in soil and rock mechanics, foundation engineering, and geotechnical risk assessment. The curriculum covers fundamental subjects such as applied geology, soil hydraulics, and geotechnical exploration methods. As students progress, they explore advanced topics, including slope stability, soil dynamics, underground structures, and soil improvement. The program blends theory and practice through hands-on projects, the use of modeling software, and culminates in a final-year thesis or applied research project
