- Description/content
- The Master's programme in Subsurface Engineering is a specialised post-graduate programme that offers a fascinating teaching and research curriculum in the field of civil engineering, geosciences and underground engineering. The Master's course of study is embedded in a strong research environment with an excellent international reputation, which involves worldwide experts in a wide research area including tunnel engineering, geosciences, geothermal energy and geotechnical engineering. All courses and lectures of the Master's programme are held in English. Most of the lecturers spend an important part of their career in countries abroad, thus having profound teaching skills paired with a lot of international experience. The Master's programme in Subsurface Engineering takes four semesters (two years) to complete. After the first semester with fundamental courses, depending on their own qualifications, students can choose to focus on two directions to deepen their knowledge:
• Geotechnics and Tunnelling
• Subsurface Characterisation and Utilisation
