Key Summary

    About: The PhD in Geotechnics and Underground Engineering focuses on advanced study and research in geotechnics and the challenges of underground construction. Students will explore topics such as soil mechanics, foundation engineering, and tunneling. The program promotes innovative thinking and an understanding of practical applications in the field.
    Career Outcomes: Graduates can pursue careers as geotechnical engineers, tunnel engineers, or construction project managers. Opportunities exist in academia, government agencies, and private sector firms specializing in civil engineering and underground construction projects.

Introduction

The study is focused on the field of behaviour of geomaterials, geomechanics, technology of realization of geotechnical, underground and mining constructions corresponding to the development of digitization and stratification of engineering constructions (including BIM technology), behaviour of geotechnical and underground constructions subjected to extraordinary loads, development of methods of modelling of various types of geotechnical constructions, environmental geotechnics and the problems of energy geotechnics associated with geothermal energy. The cooperation of doctoral students is foreseen for the scientific and research activities of the supervising departments. This study programme is a unique study programme at universities in the Czech and Slovak Republics.
