Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology

Master of Science (M.Sc.)

About the Program

Sustainable infrastructure, drinking water safety, climate-neutral energy sources – Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology is central to solving pressing issues of our time. This Master's program imparts the scientific and engineering skills needed to tackle geological and technical problems. The degree program is located at the interface of natural and engineering sciences. Students deepen their knowledge of applied geology and deal with geological, mineralogical, and petrographic methods, particularly against the background of issues in civil engineering, environmental engineering, surveying, and mechanical engineering. They learn to explore and investigate the natural subsurface, evaluate the properties of rocks and mountains, and determine the hydrochemical and hydrogeological properties of water. They can specialize in engineering geology, alpine natural hazards/engineering geomorphology, hydrogeology, or geothermal energy. The program structure covers discipline-specific fundamentals in the first three semesters, with laboratory and project work, and elective modules for specialization. The fourth semester is devoted to the Master's thesis.
