Subsurface Engineering is an English-taught Master of Science at Ruhr-Universität Bochum. It joins engineering and geoscience knowledge with a focus on exploring, using and building in the ground.
Students learn how the subsurface is investigated to great depth, how tunnels, caverns, foundations and excavation pits are planned, calculated and built, and how the ground can be used to obtain or store energy. They also study the behaviour of soil and rock under load and how underground structures can be simulated on a computer. The two specialisations are geotechnics and tunnelling, and exploration and use of the subsurface.
The programme takes four semesters and starts in the winter semester. A good foundation in mathematics, physics, chemistry, mechanics and programming is expected.
Further details on enrolment are available separately for German and international applicants, and the semester contribution is explained on a dedicated university page. Students can turn to the study advisory service of the department with questions about content and admission.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Open admission (zulassungsfrei); application via the faculty.
