About this program
International Degree in Geotechnics and Foundations
In addition to delving into the traditional large blocks, the Master's also focuses on the aspect of numerical modeling in geotechnics, which is essential today to carry out responsibilities and functions in this field.
The Structuralia Master in Geotechnics and Foundations is a program that seeks to reinforce, increase and strengthen the knowledge and skills of professionals in the construction, geology and civil engineering sectors in Geotechnical Engineering. To do this, the program covers, in a total of nine modules, the main aspects related to this discipline. In addition to delving into the traditional large blocks, the Master's also focuses on the aspect of numerical modeling in geotechnics, which is essential today to carry out responsibilities and functions in this field.
In addition to providing the necessary theoretical framework, the Master will also allow students to carry out cases and practical exercises. At the end of the program, the completion of the Final Master's Project (TFM) will allow students to review and apply the most important knowledge acquired throughout it.
This program is instructed in Spanish only
