This is your engineering.
Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering crosses the potential of engineering and geosciences, applying itself to the geotechnics of large engineering works, the management of natural resources, the use of geomaterials, and assessment of geoenvironmental risks.
If issues related to the study, prospection, transformation and eco-responsible management of georesources, geotechnologies, geoenvironment and geomaterials motivate you, this is your engineering.
What does this degree give you?
- You will be able to contribute to solutions in the field of geoengineering, geotechnologies and geoenvironment.
- You will prepare to support the sustainable management of georesources and geoenvironmental protection projects.
- You will have access to a high experimental component through the realization of projects, case study analysis, technical visits, and field and laboratory work.
- You will have professional preparation to work in multidisciplinary teams, and you will be able to propose and implement creative, innovative, and sustainable technical solutions.
- Duration:
- 3 years / 6 semesters
- Credits:
- 180 ECTS
- Schedule:
- Daytime (8 a.m. - 6 p.m.)

“More recently, I have been researching the interface of geo-technologies, robotics, and geo-engineering linked to several projects at CRAS|INESC TEC, highlighting NASA’s PoSSUM project (Scientist-Astronaut). With a strong experimental and theoretical-practical component, this degree provides you with all the necessary skills to be a geo-professional of excellence!”
