He Graduate in Geological Engineering It aims to bring together the best knowledge available at the Polytechnic University of Madrid on the subject, in order to offer training of the highest possible quality and adaptation to the existing and foreseeable professional demand.

Specifically, it aims to provide adequate and high-level training to future professionals who will practice in the area of ​​geological engineering in addition to developing technical engineering functions specializing in mining surveys and prospecting. Thus, as a general approach, it is about training a graduate with a professional profile focused on Civil Engineering, Extraction of mineral and hydrogeological resources, Environment and will have a wide demand in the Spanish, European and international socioeconomic context.

Furthermore, the general and specific competencies proposed are in accordance with fundamental rights and equality between men and women, with the principles of equal opportunities and universal accessibility for people with disabilities and with the values ​​of a culture of peace and of democratic values. On the other hand, the ETSI Minas meets the accessibility requirements for disabled people on all teaching floors and in all its buildings, straight hallways free of obstacles, elevators, ramps and enabled toilets (See section 7.1.1 of this proposal).

Graduation profile: Experts in public works design and construction companies, including underground ones, are considered professional opportunities for these graduates. They will also be integrated into engineering companies that develop geotechnical and geological projects for the execution of such works. Others are the Consultancies for the Investigation, valuation and management of surface and underground waters for a comprehensive, rational and sustained use of them in addition to the valuation and extraction of mineral resources and construction materials and the Engineering specialized in Restoration, rehabilitation and control of highly impacted natural environments. The graduate will be able to integrate into Companies that study the Design of plans for the prevention of natural geological risks or those induced by anthropic activity and in Engineering that studies the location of temporary or permanent landfills for urban, industrial, toxic and dangerous waste. .
