6 Distance learning Master Programmes in Geology 2024

The Master’s degree in Geotechnical Engineering and Foundations at Structuralia aims to strengthen, increase, and consolidate the knowledge and skills of construction, geology, and civil engineering professionals in the field of Geotechnical Engineering through a total of 9 modules. In addition to the main general concepts, the program focuses special attention on numerical modeling applications using a solid theoretical framework and practical exercises.

Geotechnical engineering – the mechanics of the earth’s materials – is a sector with a huge global skills shortage, meaning that well-trained geotechnical engineers are in high demand.

The Structuralia Master's Degree in Geotechnics is a program that aims to reinforce, increase and consolidate the knowledge and skills of professionals in the construction, geology and civil engineering sectors in Geotechnical Engineering. To this end, the program addresses, in a total of nine modules, the main aspects related to this discipline.

Geological Resources and Geological Engineering deals with the formation of mineral resources and their geological background, conditions of mineralization and the formation mechanism, rules of distribution, economic and technical characteristics, theory of evaluation of mineral exploration and system of technical methods, theory method and techniques for mineral resources evaluation, engineering survey, design and construction relating to the engineering of geological bodies; methods and techniques; theories and methods of prevention and control of geological disasters; geophysical response, processing and interpretation techniques of the observed geological body etc.

Geology is a program that studies material compositions, internal structure, and external features of the earth, mutual interactions between earths and the history of the evolution of earth.

Geophysics has to do with the physics of the earth and its surrounding atmosphere and applies the theory and method of physics, combined with geology, atmospheric science, marine science and astronomy, to detect all kinds of geophysical fields by means of modern science and technology.
