Course Overview
The Master's degree in Philosophy in Geotechnical Engineering (Research) is considered one of the advanced research engineering specialties that focus on studying the properties of soil and rocks and their behavior under different loads, aiming to support the design and implementation of engineering projects with the highest levels of safety and efficiency. The program aims to prepare researchers and specialized engineers capable of conducting advanced geotechnical studies, analyzing soil and slope stability, designing foundations and earth structures, and developing engineering solutions for geological and geotechnical problems in construction and infrastructure projects.
The specialization focuses on:
- Soil and rock mechanics.
- Foundation design and analysis.
- Slope and retaining wall stability.
- Geological and geotechnical engineering.
- Soil improvement and treatment.
- Numerical analysis and geotechnical modeling.
- Scientific research in geotechnical engineering.
