Thanks to this Hybrid professional master’s degree, you will design the safest foundations and ensure that buildings remain stable”

A recent report published by the World Health Organization estimates that more than 60% of the global population will live in urban areas in the coming years. This underlines the urgency of implementing effective geotechnical solutions to ensure the stability of structures in increasingly complex environments subject to extreme climatic variations.  Faced with this situation, engineering professionals must incorporate into their daily practice the most sophisticated technologies to improve both the accuracy in the evaluation of soil behavior and to optimize the design of foundations.

Faced with this scenario, TECH is launching a pioneering Hybrid professional master’s degree in Geotechnics and Foundations. Designed by authentic references in this field, the study plan will delve into subjects ranging from the behavior of soils or rocks to ground reconnaissance and shallow foundations. In this way, graduates will develop advanced skills to design safe and efficient foundations, considering different types of loading and ground conditions. In addition, engineers will master specialized software to model the behavior of soils and structures under different scenarios.

Regarding the methodology of this university degree, it consists of two stages. The first is theoretical and is taught in a convenient 100% online format. In addition, TECH uses its disruptive Relearning system to guarantee a progressive and natural learning, which does not require investing extra efforts like the traditional memorization. Afterwards, the program includes a practical stay of 3 weeks in a reference entity linked to Geotechnics and Foundations. This will allow graduates to take what they have learned to the practical field, in a real work scenario in the company of a team of experienced professionals in this area.

Are you looking to incorporate into your daily praxis the most innovative methodologies for excavation? Achieve it through this very complete university degree”

This Hybrid professional master’s degree in Geotechnics and Foundations contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features include:

• Development of more than 100 case studies presented by experts in Civil and Geotechnical Engineering
• Their graphic, schematic and practical contents provide essential information on those disciplines that are indispensable for professional practice
• Practical exercises where the self-assessment process can be carried out to improve learning
• Its special emphasis on innovative methodologies
• All of this will be complemented by theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection assignments
• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection
• Furthermore, you will be able to carry out an internship in one of the best companies

You will carry out an intensive internship of 3 weeks in a prestigious institution, where you will obtain all the knowledge you need to grow professionally”

In this Hybrid professional master’s degree proposal, of professionalizing character and blended learning modality, the program is aimed at updating engineering professionals who want to delve into the latest advances in the field of Geotechnics and Foundations. The contents are based on the latest scientific evidence, and oriented in a didactic way to integrate theoretical knowledge into the practice of Geotechnics and Foundations.

Thanks to its multimedia content elaborated with the latest educational technology, it will allow the engineering professional a situated and contextual learning, that is to say, a simulated environment that will provide an immersive learning programmed to specialize in real situations. This program is designed around Problem-Based Learning, whereby the physician must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise during the course. For this purpose, the students will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts.

You will be able to download the entire syllabus from the first day of the program and can study it comfortably from your smartphone or tablet of choice"

The interactive summaries of each topic will allow you to consolidate the concepts of Rock Mechanics in a more dynamic way"

Upon completion of this Hybrid professional master’s degree, graduates will acquire advanced skills to construct deep and shallow foundations using both advanced methodologies and specialized software. Accordingly, engineers will be able to manage risks associated with geotechnical projects, including landslides, differential settlement and erosion. At the same time, professionals will handle state-of-the-art monitoring systems to evaluate different geotechnical structures. 

You will incorporate into your standard procedures state-of-the-art techniques for terrain improvement, including dynamic compaction and soil injections”
