Geological Engineering
Master Degree
Ano Letivo 2026/2027

Course Overview

The Master Degree in Geological Engineering is oriented to the Labour Market. The principle is "Learning by Doing, toward competence and employability."
The proposed second cycle degree program has as main objective to supply the futures masters a solid formation and integrated in the area of the Geological Engineering, mainly, Georesources and Geotechnics, it allows them capacities in several domains.
The student can carry out their Dissertation / Traineeship / Project in Enterprise context. To this purpose, cooperation agreements have been established with more than 30 enterprises and institutions specialized in Geological and Geotechnical Exploration, Industrial and Ornamental Rocks, Engineering and Environmental Geology, Soil and Rock Mechanics, Slope Stability, Water Resources, Geological and Geotechnical Mapping, Mineral Resources, Inspection and Licensing of Extractive Activity.
The Agreement between the University of Evora (UE) and the University of Castilla la Mancha - UCLM (Spain), allows students from both institutions to obtain a double degree of Master in Geological Engineering (UE) and the "Grado en Tecnologia Minera" (UCLM).
