[expand all]

Conditions for enrolment

Achieved 240 ECTS points at basic academic studies

Study programme objectives

»	Educating of the engineers with master degree in geotechnics for continuous participation during the entire process of planning, designing (in all stages), construction, exploitation and maintenance of facilities;
»	Transferring of scientific and professional knowledge and opening possibilities for enrolment in doctoral academic studies;
»	Continuous development of geotechnical profession and science, and providing of an updated study programme;
»	Harmonising of the evaluation system with the EU countries, and possibility for employment at a unified labour market;
»	Modernisation of programme contents and increase of the acquired knowledge applicability for professional engineering work in the area of geo-technique;
»	Providing of higher academic education for work in the related areas: construction, mining, urban planning, spatial planning, ecology;
»	Determining of students’ affinities and their further guiding towards scientific-researching work;
»	Providing of young professionals and scientists.

Future approach

Degree holder may enrol in doctoral academic studies.

Professional status

M. Sc. in GeologyThe students who have finished this study programme are able to do the following

»	Design complex geotechnical research;
»	Monitor performing of field research and laboratory examinations;
»	Analyse and interpret the results of the performed research and examinations and solve particular problems on the basis of their results;
»	Participate in designing, performing and interpretation of geo-technical monitoring results;
»	Participate in creating geotechnical bases (for the needs of spatial and urban planning, designing and constructing of high-rise buildings, underground facilities, hydro-technical facilities, facilities of transportation and technical infrastructure with geotechnical analyses of conditions for construction of facilities);
»	Participate in making geotechnical bases for the needs of rehabilitation of contemporary geological processes and phenomena: sliding grounds, flowing grounds, landfalls;
»	Participate in making geotechnical bases for the needs of exploitation of geological building material deposits;
»	Participate in making geotechnical bases for the needs of designing and performing of meliorative works in soil and rock (injecting and drainage systems);
»	Perform geotechnical surveillance and control performing of geotechnical works;
»	Participate in making geotechnical bases for the needs of environmental protection, including geotechnical bases for the needs of construction, rehabilitation and re-cultivation of waste disposal sites.
