ABOUT THE STUDY PROGRAMMEGeotechnics and Geohazards is a two-year master's programme in Englishat NTNU, aiming to give the partici-pants scientic skills and insight intophenomena like slides and avalanches:Why do they happen? Where is ithazardous to build, where is it sae,and when? How can the stability o aslope be evaluated, independent o itslocation in Norway or in Las Colinas,El Salvador? In act, internationallythe challenges with respect to slideprevention and the consequences ogeo-related natural disasters are evenlarger than in Norway.

The problem denitions and the needor proper evaluation require compe-tence in many scientic elds: geology,hydrogeology, geotechnics, mechanics,

numerical modelling, risk analyses andearthquakes.

Geotechnics represents the scienceneeded to build saely on, in or o soils.The challenges are numerous, and

oten related to optimal utilization olimited space in urban environment, i.e.deep excavations and creative use othe underground in cities to obtain morespace on the surace. Foundation olarge bridges and multi-storey buildingson sot subsoil is another challenge.

STUDY ENvIRONMENTThe master's programme in Geo-technics and Geohazards commencedin the all semester 2005, but isounded on long educational andscientic traditions at our university.Geotechnics is a well respected scienceboth nationally and internationally,not least due to more than 50 years o

high-quality research, development andconsultancy oered by the NorwegianGeotechnical Institute (NGI) in Oslo. Thestudy programme is hence oered inclose cooperation with other partners inthe International Centre or Geohazards(ICG). The University o Oslo, NTNU,NGI, NGU and NORSAR are partnersin this centre or outstanding scienticresearch, and researchers and proes-sors in these institutions oer speciallyadapted education, including projectsand master theses with guidance.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTSAdmission to this master's programmerequires three or our year BSc/BEngdegree in civil engineering or similar.Basic knowledge in the ollowing topicsis needed: Structural mechanics, geo-technics and engineering geology. Theapplicants should master the Englishlanguage written as well as spoken.

JOB PROSPECT

In geotechnics, there has or several ye-ars been a lack o educated candidates,and there is now a great demand, bothamong private and public employers.Norwegian consultant companies andother actors are engaged interna-

tionally, not least in th e developingcountries on several continents, andrepresents interesting possibilitiesor employment. Find more rom ourprogramme here:www.geohazards.no

Few people remember the

slide that destroyed 100

meters o the railway line at

Jevika, south o Steinkjer,

March 10. 1997. This is due to

the act that the northbound

train was stopped right in

time, beore it drove into the

slide pit. A catastrophe was

hence avoided! But why did

the slide happen? Why are

there numerous slides in

Norway and elsewhere in the

world? How can todays

ABOUT THE PROGRAMMEOne o the greatest challenges o the21st century is to understand howmental activity arises in the brain. Whatis the neural basis or psychologicalphenomena like thoughts, emotions,ideas, memories and problem-solving?Neuroscience technology is rapidlydeveloping, and progress in gene tech-nology, electronics and data processingnow allows researchers to relatemicroscopic activity in individual cellsand cell populations directly to mentalactivity and disease.

This development not only lays theoundation or a better understanding ohuman cognition, but also contributesto preventing and treating diseases inthe nervous system. Disorders o thenervous system are among the mostcommon reasons or hospitalization in

Norway. About 30 percent o the popu-lation will be struck by some disturb-ance in the brain, such as Alzheimersdisease, Parkinsons disease, stroke,schizophrenia, depression, multiplesclerosis or chronic pain disorders. As

many o these disorders are age-rela-ted, the number o aected individualswill increase due to the rising share othe elderly in the population.

Neuroscience is an interdisciplinaryresearch eld, including disciplinessuch as biology, chemistry, mathe-matics, medicine, philosophy, physicsand psychology. The aim o the MScprogramme is to provide studentswith state-o-the-art education inall essential disciplines relevant orneuroscience.

exchange students rom our partneruniversities in Germany, France andSpain. This multicultural environmentgives our students an insight into howproblems are handled in other culturesand encourages academic discussionin English. For those who want tourther broaden their horizons, we haveexchange programmes which allowstudents to take their second semesterabroad.

ADvANTAGESThe study programme is developed incooperation with Norwegian companiesseeking project management compe-tence. The participating companiesoten suggest projects and problemareas or the third semester projectand the masters thesis. The Master oScience in Project Management is parto a European programme to developthe European Master o ProjectManagement. All project management

programmes at the participatinguniversities are ully compatible, andthis aciliates exchanges.

In todays society projects

ment. Finding the Higgs-

boson, developing new drugs,

building a new school or

changing an organiation are

all eamples o endeavours

organied as projects. Ho-

wever, only 25% o all pro-

jects ull their objectives. Atthe other end, 25% are such

ailures that they are termi-

nated or should have been

terminated.
