Program Overview

Màster Universitari en Enginyeria Geològica

The Master's Degree in Geological Engineering is a postgraduate program that provides advanced training in geological engineering.


Overview

The program is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of geological engineering principles and practices, as well as the skills and knowledge required to work in this field.


Course Structure

The program consists of a combination of compulsory and optional courses, with a total of 15 credits dedicated to optional courses.


  • Compulsory Courses: These courses provide a foundation in geological engineering principles and practices.
  • Optional Courses: These courses allow students to specialize in a particular area of geological engineering, such as geotechnical engineering or geological resources.

Specializations

The program offers two specializations:


  • Enginyeria Geotècnica (Geotechnical Engineering): This specialization focuses on the application of geological engineering principles to the design and construction of civil engineering projects, such as tunnels, bridges, and buildings.
  • Recursos Geològics (Geological Resources): This specialization focuses on the exploration, extraction, and management of geological resources, such as minerals, water, and energy resources.

Optional Courses

The optional courses are divided into two blocks:


  • Block 1: Enginyeria Geotècnica
    • Estabilitat de talussos i vessants (Slope Stability)
    • Modelització geotècnica (Geotechnical Modeling)
    • Geotècnia viari (Road Geotechnics)
    • Geotècnia d'obres hidràuliques i marítimes (Hydraulic and Maritime Geotechnics)
    • Patologia i reparació de construccions geotècniques (Pathology and Repair of Geotechnical Constructions)
  • Block 2: Recursos Geològics
    • Geologia econòmica (Economic Geology)
    • Roques ornamentals (Ornamental Rocks)
    • Geologia de reservoris i magatzems profunds (Reservoir and Deep Storage Geology)
    • Prospecció i captació d'aigües subterrànies (Groundwater Prospection and Capture)
    • Hidrogeoquímica i transport de contaminants en aqüífers (Hydrogeochemistry and Contaminant Transport in Aquifers)

Calendar

The program is implemented over two academic years, with the first year dedicated to compulsory courses and the second year dedicated to optional courses and the final project.


Quality

The program is subject to quality control and evaluation, with regular assessments and updates to ensure that it meets the highest standards of academic excellence.


Admission

Admission to the program is subject to the university's admission criteria, which include a bachelor's degree in a relevant field and a minimum GPA requirement.


Research Areas

The program is related to various research areas, including geotechnical engineering, geological resources, and environmental geology.


Career Opportunities

Graduates of the program can pursue careers in a variety of fields, including geotechnical engineering, environmental consulting, and resource management.
