EXPERT IN THE PLANNING AND DESIGN, AND/OR IN THE MANAGEMENT AND EXECUTION OF THE WORK
The aim of the Master's Degree in Tunnels and Underground Works is to provide students who successfully complete the course with training in tunnelling and undergroundworks.
This training allows access to the technical professional world, in its planning and project facets, and/or in the management and execution of works.
An additional objective is to complete the training of both professionals already working in tunnels and those wishing to engage in research and/or teaching.
UNED'S OWN DEGREE WITH ITA RECOGNITION
The Master's Degree is currently a degree of the UNED. National University of Distance Education (UNED), with an equivalence of 60 ECTS (European Credit System, according to the European Higher Education Area) and is recognised by the ITA(International Tunnelling Association).

- Clases prácticas, que se impartirán en centros académicos y empresas de reconocido prestigio acorde con cada uno de los módulos.
- Viajes de prácticas para tratar in situ los aspectos más relevantes de los proyectos.
- Elaboración de una Tesina en la que el alumno estará acompañado de un tutor que deberá ser defendida ante el tribunal académico que corresponda.
- Módulo 1 – Bases de la Geología y Geotecnia en el Proyecto y la Construcción de Túneles.
- Module 2 - Regulations and Functional Criteria.
- Module 3 - Design and Construction of Tunnels using Classical and NATM Methods.
- Module 4 - Opencast Tunnels.
- Module 5 - Design and Construction of Tunnels using Tunnelling Machines.
- Module 6 - Ground Treatments in Tunnels and Instrumentation.
- Module 7 - Numerical Methods for Tunnel Design and Construction.
- Module 8 - Inspection, maintenance and repair of tunnels.
