| Programme description | NTNU is one of the partner institutions of the International Centre for Geohazards (ICG), together with the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI), Geological Survey of Norway (NGU), Norwegian Seismic Array (NORSAR), and University of Oslo. ; The MSc programme in Geotechnics and Geohazards at the Division of Geotechnical Engineering will be offered for the first time in 2005. In the two first semesters of the MSc programme, students complete courses within Continuum Mechanics, Soil Investigations, Theoretical Soil Mechanics, Geohazards and Risk Analysis, Mechanics of Materials, FEM in Geotechnical Engineering, Landslides and Slope Stability, and Structural Dynamics. In the 3rd semester, students complete one course within Rock Engineering, advanced short courses and a project work. Both the project work, and the master's thesis in the last semester, are focusing on topics related to geohazards (can be linked to ongoing ICG projects). The MSc programme in Geotechnics and Geohazards focuses on properties of soils and geological materials, field exploration, field measurements, laboratory testing, computer simulations, risk evaluations and practical design skills, needed for engineering solutions to geohazards challenges. |
