Basic goals and competences<\/h3>\n

The fundamental goal of the Master’s study programme in Geotechnology is to train an expert and equip him or her with in-depth and targeted knowledge and skills from core areas in geotechnology and mining; the electives, meanwhile, offer especially detailed knowledge from individual fields of geotechnology and its associated areas.
\nIn the framework of their studies, students will discover traditional principles that will be upgraded with the latest discoveries; all this in a modern educational environment and using modern technology. Students will also learn all about the particularities of Slovenia and Europe that stem from special historical, socio-economical and geographic characteristics. By working in groups, undertaking project work and solving problems, students will learn to work in teams, give public talks and do business with customers as well as to actively participate in research. Students will have the chance to test all the acquired theoretical knowledge through practical exercises and solving demanding theoretical and vocationally-oriented problems and projects; this will make practical work after their finished studies much easier, while at the same time providing a better understanding of problems from the narrower fields of geotechnology and mining. Students acquire the necessary thorough and oriented knowledge and skills from fundamental courses in the natural sciences and IT; they also follow fundamental courses in geotechnology and mining, while obtaining additional knowledge from professional courses. In the context of the offered courses and electives, the student also has the possibility of specialising in a particular field and continuing his or her studies at third-level programmes. The goal of the programme is to ensure international comparability, mobility and transferability, enabling students to continue their studies in Europe and find employment within the EU.
\nThe programme is in line with the minimum demands of the FEANI association and thus has an accredited programming which may award the Euro-ing title. The goal is also to increase the number of students passing their courses, ensuring greater quality by introducing ongoing studying and developing general student and teacher tutoring and tutoring focused on certain courses.
\nStudents use their acquired knowledge in practical scenarios by taking part in industrial placement at mining, construction and similar companies, which also represent the desired employment areas. Graduates who finish this programme are ensured in-depth theoretical and thorough professional knowledge, are employable and are capable of independently performing even the most demanding expert and developmental projects in the field of geotechnology and mining both in Slovenia and elsewhere in Europe.<\/p>\n
