Changes to the curriculum
Please note the current and future changes to the curriculum:
- The seminar “Forum Geotechnical Engineering and Construction Management" will be cancelled from the winter semester 2024/25 onwards
- Module Geotechnical Engineering III: beginning with the winter semester 2025/26 this module contains the course “Advanced Foundation Engineering” only. This includes lecture notes (2 ECTS), exercises (2 ECTS) and a seminar (2 ECTS). The previous course "Numerical Methods in Geotechnical Engineering" will be held in the module "Soil Mechanics and Soil dynamics" starting in the summer semester 2026.
- Module Soil Mechanics and Soil Dynamics: starting with the summer semester 2026 this module contains the courses "Numerical Methods in Geotechnical Engineering" (3 ECTS), "Selected Topics in Soil Mechanics" (1 ECTS), and "Soil Mechanics" (2 ECTS). The previous course "Experimental Research in Geotechnical Engineering" is cancelled.
