Introduction
Why take this master?
The Structuralia Master's Degree in Geotechnics is a program that aims to reinforce, increase and consolidate the knowledge and skills of professionals in the construction, geology and civil engineering sectors in Geotechnical Engineering. To this end, the program addresses, in a total of nine modules, the main aspects related to this discipline. In addition to delving deeper into the traditional large blocks, the master's degree also focuses on the aspect of numerical modeling in geotechnics, currently being fundamental for carrying out responsibilities and functions in this field.
In addition to providing the necessary theoretical framework, the Master's degree will also allow students to carry out cases and practical exercises. At the end of the program, completing the Master's Final Work (TFM) will allow students to review and apply the most important knowledge acquired throughout the program.
