Program Overview

Algeria is experiencing intense construction activity, which requires the training of personnel capable of managing the various geotechnical problems posed by projects. Neglecting the geotechnical context in the construction process, whether at the design, study, or completion stage, has contributed to significant material and human losses. This specialization aims to train geotechnicians capable of participating in construction projects and intervening in the project study phase. This training also serves as an introduction to higher education in the field of geotechnics within the framework of a doctorate in geotechnics, which also aims to contribute to solving the geotechnical problems posed by the construction process
