Level:  master academic studies

Upon end of the studies student will receive a title: Master engineer of geology

Master academic studies are an extension of the undergraduate academic studies. They are more open than the undergraduate studies. Almost all courses are elective. Which courses will the student choose depends on the student’s interest and the themes he wishes to study more. In that way, studies have a scientific character. Completed master academic studies allow master engineers access to doctor academic studies. Considering that geotechnics is a discipline applicable in a wide economic context, many tasks in our programme are being solved on real constructions and in association with the leading experts and scientific institutions in Serbia which deal with this matter. That is why we consider that geotechnics is a challenging scientific field of great importance, which allows investigation of the interaction between nature and engineering activities, so future master engineers have the opportunity to show themselves and their creative talent.

General goals for the geotechnics study programme are: - Transferring scientific knowledge and skills, and opening possibilities for enrolling the doctor academic studies, - Continuous development in the field of profession and science and securing updates of the study programme - Making the evaluation system closer to the one in the European Union and getting employment opportunities at the world labor market, - Modernization of the programme content and making the acquire knowledge more applicable for professional engineering in geotechnics, - Closer relationship with students, seeing their affinities and helping them with further specialization, - Providing of young specialists and scientists. The goal of the study programme is to provide a basic academic knowledge enough for continuing professional and scientific work in related areas such as civil engineering, mining, urbanization, space planning or ecology.

When students finish master academic studies the engineers get qualifications to do any kind of work in the field of geotechnics - independently or in a team. Students of the study programme for geotechnics are qualified for complex geotechnic research, to conduct efficient field investigations and laboratory testing, to perform analysis and interpretation of the data and to solve specific problems based on the results of investigations. Master engineers of geotechnics are the only ones competent for the design and conduction of geotechnical investigations: field, laboratory and cabinet, as well as for the development of geotechnical background, as the basis for the projects. They are also the only ones competent for the supervision of geotehnical works and the control of geotechnical projects. Practical skills involve qualifying students for numerical data processing and using modern information technologies. That means that the master engineers - after completing their master studies, will have knowledge and skills for processing and storing data, while taking care of the selection and quality of data, as well as the accuracy of analytical procedures, in order to secure the level of reliability needed. Systematical storing of reliable information affects the economical aspect of the future field investigations.

Completed Undergraduate academic studies in corresponding or related scientific field, with total amount of 240 ECTS credits, at least.
