Geotechnology

Master of Science (M.Sc.)

About the Program

How can we use the earth technologically while still protecting it? What do we need to keep in mind when we use the ground to build houses, streets, tunnels, or dams, when raw materials are mined, when we interfere with the water supply or want to use geothermal energy? As a geotechnologist, you develop and implement technical concepts for these kinds of plans. You evaluate whether a project is economically viable and environmentally sound and whether it conforms to the technical norms and legal provisions. To do this, you need an in-depth understanding of the earth system including the ongoing processes. The interdisciplinary degree program in Geotechnology teaches subject expertise and basic methodological skills in geology, geophysics, geochemistry, and petrology as well as in relevant engineering subjects. In addition to the geo-specific basic principles, it builds on a practical foundation, focusing especially on mathematics, physics, chemistry, and engineering, while also encompassing the ecological, legal, economic, and social aspects of geo-technological actions. One key element of your education is taking on tasks in current research and applied projects.
