The Master's Degree in Civil Engineering overlaps with the Master's Degree in Structural and Geotechnical Engineering in the areas of structural and Geotechnical engineering; however, the former qualifies students to practice the regulated profession of Civil Engineer, while the latter is a specialised Master's Degree oriented towards the field of structural and Geotechnical engineering, not only from a professional but also from a scientific point of view. In this specific case, a student who wants to acquire the professional competencies to practice Civil Engineering and, in addition, wants a professional or research specialisation in structural and Geotechnical engineering should take both master's degrees separately.
The proposal offers to the MUICCP student, instead of taking MUICCP 120,0 ECTS and MUIEG 90,0 ECTS (that amounts to 210,0 ECTS), takes only 150 ECTS in total, representing a saving of 60,0 ECTS. This proposal is offered in the MUICCP>MUIEG direction, meaning that the non professional Master (MUIEG) represents, for the student, an extension of the specialization in the field of Structural and Geotechnical Engineering in respect to the acquired in the professional Master (MUICCP).
