Introduction to the Program

A thorough and intensive study of the differential characteristics of soils and rocks, in relation to soil behavior, bearing capacity or strength"

The program is academically designed to provide in-depth knowledge, starting from advanced concepts already acquired in the world of Civil Engineering and from a practical application point of view, to the most important geotechnical aspects that can be found in different types of civil engineering works.

The content ranges from the specific behavior of soils and rocks, with a constant differentiation of both types of terrain throughout all the topics, to their direct application in foundations and structures.

The program, divided into 10 modules, has a syllabus that mixes some of these modules that have more applied theory (such as those related to soil behavior models, the necessary requirements for a good identification of soils and rocks or the interaction of the soil with seismic disturbances), with others that have an emphasis on practical analysis. The knowledge acquired on the behavior of the soil and its stress-strain states in this first part is applied to the usual structures of Geotechnical Engineering: slopes, walls, screens, tunnels, etc.

Geotechnical engineering and its application in foundations and structures is present in many civil engineering projects and works. This path, which goes from compaction and seismic considerations in linear works to the execution of tunnels and galleries, is the one that is carried out with the case studies addressed in each of the topics. It is a priority to ensure that these case studies are current and relevant. This allows for an original and application-oriented analysis of the theoretical concepts developed throughout the course.

Therefore, the Master's Degree in Geotechnical and Foundation Engineering integrates the most complete and innovative educational program on the current market in terms of knowledge and the latest available technologies, in addition to encompassing all sectors or parties involved in this field. In addition, the program consists of exercises based on real cases of situations currently managed or previously faced by the teaching team.

All this, through a 100% online program that allows the student to take the course wherever and whenever they want. All they will need is a device with internet access, and they will be able to access a universe of knowledge that will be the main basis for engineers to position themselves in a sector that is increasingly demanded by companies in various industries.
