Overview
At Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) we offer a master degree in Geotechnics and Geohazards. Geohazards include landslides, rockslides, avalanches, earthquakes and tsunamis. Many lives could be saved and enormous destruction avoided if people knew more about geohazards forecasting and prevention.
Job Prospects
- Within geotechnics, there has been a shortage of new candidates on the market for several years now.
- Both consulting companies and entrepreneurs are looking for more people with this type of competence.
