Knowledge and skills in structural mechanics, geotechnics, hydrology and hydraulics, geology and engineering geology as well as numerical methods, statistics and geomatics are all integrated in the framework of the Geoengineering program.

The learning objectives of the programme will be implemented through a two-year study plan that foresees the acquisition of a number of ECTS in accordance with the learning objects in the above mentioned sectors.

Students have to pass mandatory exams and the final examination as foreseen by the official Educational Rules of the degree course. In the development of the program, the students have the possibility to insert free-choice courses for similar sectors and totally free-choice courses, stages and traineeship in companies, private and public agencies, as described and in accordance with the official Educational Rules of the degree course .

NEW!  Starting from the next Academic Year 2025/26, in order to provide supplementary knowledge to the personal preparation from previous studies and to make studies in geoengineering more effective, the Master in Geoengineering within a single programme has structured two pathways. 

One pathway is more suitable for graduates in Civil Engineering or Environmental Engineering, or comparable degrees, and is designed to compensate for competencies in Geology;  the other one is more suitable for graduates in Geology or comparable degrees, and is designed to compensate for competencies in Engineering. The two pathways may differ by a maximum of 18 ETCS.

Pathway for engineers	Highly recommended for those who already have a bachelor’s degree in Civil and/or Environmental Engineering or similar, in order to compensate for competencies in Geology.
Pathway for geologists	Highly recommended for those who already have a bachelor’s degree in Geology or similar, in order to compensate for competencies in Engineering.

In order to facilitate the definition of a suitable plan of study from the beginning of the new enrolled students, the Master in Geoengineering suggests filling out a special google form for customised advising.
